    An ugly incident occurred at Erdogan-Clinton meeting on February 14,
    CNNturk reports.

    When the scheduled 20 minutes ran out, U.S. Ambassador to Qatar entered
    the room and warned U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton it is time
    to close the meeting, as she would be late for the meeting with Emir of
    Qatar. In responde to this, adviser to Turkish PM said: "It is not for
    you to judge the importance of our meeting, you offend our country."

    Thereafter, the high-ranking officials fought hand to hand and were
    hardly pulled apart. The infuriated Ambassador left the room slamming
    the door.

    As NEWS.am reported previously, Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met in the capital of
    Qatar-Doha. The officials discussed Iran's nuke program, Armenia-Turkey
    relations, Cyprus dispute and Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

    Erdogan noted that Turkey fulfilled the assumed commitments, however
    RA Constitutional Court's judgment on the Protocols might negatively
    affect the process. He outlined that Armenia-Turkey reconciliation
    is possible with establishment of peace in Caucasus, consequently,
    it is necessary for OSCE MG to intensify its efforts. Despite the
    difficulties, Armenia-Turkey normalization process is very beneficial,
    Clinton emphasized.
