Davutoglu visit to Yerevan mere show, expert saysDecember 9, 2013 - 15:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - An Armenian Turkologist slammed the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's visit to Yerevan as a mere show. "The move is meant to showcase Turkey's "tolerance" for all the world to see," Artak Shakaryan said. As he noted, Davutoglu's visit will be discussed by the international community regardless of the Turkish official's meetings agenda in Yerevan. "Even if no meetings actually take place, Davutoglu will be saying there was a secret one,” the expert noted. In conclusion, Shakaryan suggested live broadcasting the meeting of Turkish and Armenian Foreign Ministers, according to Aysor.am.
