During his visit to Turkey, President Serzh Sargsyan did not conduct any briefing or make any statement, RA President's Press Secretary Samvel Farmanyan said, commenting upon Turkish media reports that Serzh Sargsyan had told a CNN correspondent that he had simply notified Diaspora of his recent decision.

"Comparing the dates of the tour and signing of Protocols, it becomes evident that the decision was made after public discussions. Protocols were signed after the all-Armenian tour and Security Council's ad hoc session," Farmanyan stressed.
