Erdoghan's justifications sound ridiculous
The meeting between Turkish Prime Minister and U.S. President correspond to Turkey's interests, according to ARFD Hay Dat Bureau Director  Giro Manoyan. Erdoghan's statement on the necessity of progress in Karabakh process testify to Turkey's inability to impose its position on U.S. President, he told Thursday a news conference in Yerevan.

"That enables Armenian authorities to declare their intention of changing 'football diplomacy' rules and torpedo talks," he said, characterizing Turkish Parliament's failure to publish conclusion on Protocols by December 7 as constitutional violation.

Besides, he said, Erdoghan's statements on Turkish executive's inability to exert pressure upon the legislative sound ridiculous.

"The sooner Armenia speaks about Turkey's violations of negotiation process, the sooner it will protect itself from the imminent threat," he said.
