It doesn’t mean anything

“That announcement in fact does not have any significant meaning,” said the head of the Center of National and International Studies Richard Giragossian to our reporter concerning the announcement of the Turkish Ambassador in Azerbaijan, which states that the Armenian president can go to Turkey to watch to soccer match by plane. “Even though the Turkish government has decided to answer to Serzh Sargsyan’s announcement, but they did it at a low level and in a softer manner. They selected not the Ambassador in Georgia, but the Ambassador in Azerbaijan. This is very important because the Turkish Ambassador in Georgia has an important role in the Armenian-Turkish relations. As for the Turkish Ambassador in Azerbaijan, his work and announcements mostly concern the Turkish-Azerbaijani relations. In other words, his announcement was more targeted at the society of Azerbaijan than Armenia,” he said.
