Three Turkish Parties Condemn EP's Resolution on Armenian Genocide
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The dates that Russian President Vladimir Putin and
French President Francois Hollande are to be in Armenia coincide so the
two leaders may meet during the event of the anniversary of Armenian
genocide in Yerevan, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Friday.
"As far as I understand, Putin and Hollande's arrivals in Yerevan

talks on Ukraine reconciliation in February in Minsk, the capital
of Belarus.
