    Signal for Face-to Face Meeting

    The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who took the first
    step about the genocide claims by writing a letter to Kocharyan is
    getting ready for his second initiative. Diplomatic sources expect a
    face-to-face meeting in up coming international meetings, in which
    the two leaders will participate in May.

    Drawing the attention of the international community with his
    proposal to handle the historical claims in a joint commission,
    Erdogan is expected to make his second initiative by meeting with
    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan. Both Erdogan and Kocharyan will
    participate in the ceremonies in Moscow to be held on May 9 and also
    in the Summit of the Council of Europe in Warsaw on May 15-16. It is
    reported that the two leaders might meet in either of these two
    activities.

    According to reports from the prime ministry, it is planned that
    Erdogan and Kocharyan will meet in Warsaw, the capital of Poland,
    where the Summit of the Council of Europe will be held. It is
    indicated that no time and place were set for the meeting, instead an
    opportunity will be created for the meeting during the summit;
    however, if no opportunity is found, the possibility of not having a
    meeting is not ignored. If a meeting takes place between Erdogan and
    Kocharyan, the high-ranking officials of the two countries will for
    the first time discuss the genocide claims face to face. The
    diplomatic initiative that Turkey recently began on the issue, began
    with the exchange of letters between the two leaders.
