Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan and his Turkish counterpart
had a short talk at a working lunch hosted by US Secretary of State
Hilary Clinton in honor of the foreign ministers participating in
the World Nuclear Security Summit in Washington.
Our correspondent in Washington says the two ministers mainly focused
on continuing the discussions between the Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan the other day.
Earlier Serzh Sargsyan visited former American President Woodrow
Wilson's memorial in Washington National Cathedral and place a wreath
there following by a meeting with the Armenia-American community.
"We are ready and want to have normal relations with all our neighbors,
but we will not tolerated pre-conditions to be dictated to us ... Our
approach has been and remains very clear. Turkey cannot speak with
pre-conditions to Armenia. We will not simply allow that.
We cannot allow the fact of Armenian Genocide be a subject to
examination or pretend that Turkey can play a positive role in the
Karabakh conflict settlement process. Any new foreign policy line is
subject to trial because we are passing through an non- trampled path.
We are sure that Armenia will pass this way with honor too," Sargsyan
had said during the meeting.
