    CLINTON INDIFFERENT TO TURKEY'S CONCERNS ON ARMENIAN COURT RULING

    On January 27, Turkey's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu
    met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during a 15-minute
    meeting which focused entirely on the Armenian Constitutional Court's
    ruling.

    According to Turkish news source Today's Zaman, Clinton, upon hearing
    Davutoglu's concerns on the court's decision, made no comments.

    "Perhaps Ankara didn't receive the support from the U.S. on this
    issue that it was searching for. The American side considers Turkey's
    concerns to be exaggerated," reports Today's Zaman.

    Unnamed Turkish diplomats told the publication that Ankara's biggest
    concern is that "the process of establishing Armenian-Turkish relations
    will be delayed, and in the case of a change of government in the
    two countries, oral statements will hold no significance." For that
    reason, Ankara is requesting written guarantees from Yerevan.

    Other meetings which took place during the London Conference were
    between Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and Davutoglu,
    and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Azerbaijani
    counterpart, Elmar Mammadyarov. Earlier, Lavrov had met with his
    Armenian counterpart, Nalbandian.
