    TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTER DAVUTOGLU SET TO VISIT ARMENIA NEXT WEEK

    ANKARA

    Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced on Dec. 5 that he would be
    visiting Armenia next week, marking a first diplomatic push since the
    protocols between the two countries signed in 2009 which foresaw the
    development of relations, including a decision on opening the borders,
    was shelved.

    Davutoglu said he accepted Armenia's invitation to attend a meeting
    of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation in Yerevan on Dec. 12.

    "Turkey is one of the founding members of the organization. Its
    headquarters are located in Istanbul, where Armenia, which is a
    member of the organization, also has a representative. I received the
    invitation and decided to accept it after consulting the president,"
    Davutoglu told reporters during a press conference in Ankara.

    Davutoglu met with his Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandyan earlier
    on Dec. 5 during a council of ministers gathering of the Organization
    for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) held in the Ukrainian
    capital Kiev. He also held meetings with his Azeri counterpart Elmar
    Memmadyarov and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss
    talks on the thorny Nagorno-Karabakh issue which Ankara considers as
    key for a thaw in its relations with Yerevan.

    Davtuoglu also said that he would visit Athens on Dec. 13 and Turkish
    Cyprus the following day.
