/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said
on Thursday he had no doubt Armenia and Turkey would sign historic
accords to normalize relations.
Ankara and Yerevan are expected to sign protocols on Saturday in
Zurich, but doubts have emerged in diplomatic circles the ceremony
would take place because of pressure from the powerful Armenian
Diaspora, as well as opposition within Armenia and to a certain extent
in Turkey.
Asked during a news conference whether the protocols would be signed
on Saturday, as announced by Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan but not
officially confirmed by Armenia, Davutoglu said: "I am not giving
any dates. Let’s wait for a statement from the Swiss. As Turkey,
we have no doubts the protocols will be signed", Reuters reported.
