As usual, the latest meeting between the heads of foreign policy departments of Armenia and Azerbaijan aroused plenty of comments in both sides. Meanwhile, the current meeting in New-York became a topic of open discussions because of the Turkish Foreign Minister's presence at the meeting. For some reason Azerbaijan suddenly spoke of "the approval of Armenia to Turkey's participation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict regulation", while Turkey speaks of "old enemies entering into negotiations". In spite of all this Armenia keeps silent and avoids the topic through the statements of the Foreign Minister and the President, which in the current situation sound not so frank.
