/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the course of a press conference in Yerevan
today Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian did not confirm the
information that Armenian President Robert Kocharian and Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will have a meeting. In the
Armenian FM’s words, neither Armenia, nor Turkey made a respective
official proposal. «The Turkish media reports may turn a prompt
by officials or an argument of journalists,» Oskanian said. When
commenting on the support of the Turkish Premier’s initiative to
form a joint historical commission to study the events of 1915 by
a number of state and organization leaders, V. Oskanian stated,
«We understand the goal Turkey pursues when suggesting to form a
historical commission. However the EU, specifically German Federal
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder view it as a frank attempt by Turkey to
consider its own history more openly,» Oskanian stated.
