January 30, 2010, Turkish President Abdullah Gul had a phone
conversation with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, Turkish

The Turkish leader voiced his concern over the RA Constitutional

asked RF President to step up the efforts in this process to prevent
negative consequences.

neither side is going to deviate from the Protocols, the Russian
leader said. He promised his Turkish counterpart that Russia will
thoroughly discuss the issue with Armenia.

Russian-Turkish cooperation and international affairs.

Referring to the situation in Transcaucasia, President Gul expressed
his appreciation of Russia’s contribution to the international efforts
to achieve progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. The
two leaders confirmed the agreement on the RF President’s visit to
Turkey this May.
