    NO BREAKTHROUGH EXPECTED IN WASHINGTON: ARZUMANYAN

    The Armenian society's expectations about a possible Sargsyan-Erdogan
    meeting in Washington are a bit exaggerated, the former Foreign
    Minister of Armenia Alexander Arzumanyan told journalists on March
    31, commenting on the rumors that the destiny of the Armenia-Turkey
    process lies in Washington.

    "I do not expect any change in Turkey's stance. Turkey clearly declared
    at the highest level that it is ready to ratify the Protocols provided
    the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process registers a breakthrough,"
    Arzumanyan said. "I do not expect any breakthrough in the next
    fortnight," he said.

    According to him, nothing but an empty and vague diplomatic statement
    may be made in Washington.

    As to an impact the U.S. President's pressure might have on the
    Armenia-Turkey reconciliation, Arzumanyan replied: "Today Turkey is
    a major partner in the region for the Obama administration and to be
    in good relations with Turkey is in U.S. interests. U.S. will in no
    way jeopardize them."
