Commenting on the visit of Turkish Prime Minister's Special Envoy Feridun Sinirlioglu to Armenia, Armenian Turkologist Artak Shakaryan said that during his visit Sinirlioglu will discuss the upcoming meeting of the Armenian President and Turkish Prime Minister in Washington. Shakaryan also noted that Sinirlioglu is the first high-ranking official of Turkey, who visited Armenia after the signing of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols in Zurich on October 10, 2009.

The Armenian expert stressed that Sinirlioglu was in the US at the beginning of this week. “Probably, he wanted to clarify the stance of Washington with respect to the Armenian-Turkish process,” Shakaryan said. Reference: Protocols
