ARFD pins no hope on Davutoglu’s visit to Yerevan
We pin no hope on Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s upcoming visit to Yerevan because the Turkish side has so far shown no wish to make concessions and continues to speak the language of preconditions, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction member Artsvik Minasyan told a parliamentary press briefing today.
The MP noted that he is doubtful about any progress in Armenian-Turkish normalization following the visit, adding that Turkey spares no effort to demonstrate readiness to build up relations with its neighbors, but in reality Turkey is not ready for it.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced on Dec. 5 that he will be visiting Armenia next week. Davutoglu said he accepted Armenia’s invitation to attend a meeting of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) in Yerevan on Dec. 12.
