Sargsyan, Davutoglu have a talk on Italian bus

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said he sees positive signs of a breakthrough in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process, Today's Zaman reported.

Davutoglu told journalists in Rome, where he was to participate in the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification, that he “had a chance to greet Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on a bus in which both were returning from the ceremony but said he had spent more time with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, with whom he had an opportunity to discuss the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in some detail.”

The Foreign Minister pinned his hope on the Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Kazan later this month.

“Signs [of a breakthrough] are positive. Statements made by the G-8 and [the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group] co-chairs are set to expedite the [peace] process. Let’s wait for the results of the Kazan meeting. We hope to see some positive steps,” Davutoglu said after having talks with Aliyev in Rome on Thursday, June 2.
