Armenia-Turkey relations chilling

The meeting between Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan proved ineffective, a Russian expert said.

“There are several reasons for it: the Armenian Genocide resolution adopted by the U.S. House panel, Erdogan’s threat to deport illegal Armenian migrants and Turkey’s support to Azerbaijan in Karabakh issue,” Alexander Sotnichenko, senior analyst at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Middle East Studies, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

The Turkish parliament is unlikely to ratify the protocols unless the RA Constitutional Court amends the text of its ruling, according to him.
