Mr. Richard Giragosian Director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS) stated that following the recent meeting in Washington between Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, there are renewed expectations of hope that the process of Turkish-Armenian “normalization” is back on track.

“The meeting represented the ‘last chance’ for Turkey to meet expectations, new obstacles are coming, including the April 24th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, which affirms that the real test for this latest round of Turkish-Armenian diplomacy is only beginning,” he told reporters in Yerevan on April 15.

Washington will use the dialogue between the two countries to achieve its goals in Karabakh process, according to Mr. Giragosian.
