May 21, 2013 | 14:02
YEREVAN. – During his trip to Washington, Turkish Premier failed to
get additional empowerment from Barack Obama to intervene in Syrian
conflict, Armenian expert believes.
Turkologist Andranik Ispiryan said Turkish delegation wished to have
more authority, in particular to get permission to create no-fly zone
in the territory of Syria. However, the expert believes Recep Tayyip
Erdogan `left Washington empty-handed.’
Before his trip to the U.S., Erdogan wanted to get Washington’s
assistance on no-fly zone. After the visit, he said the UN is
authorized to decide on the matter, Ispiryan told reporters on
Tuesday.
The visit revealed that Turkish PM intends to visit Palestine, in
particular Ramallah controlled by Fatah movement.
The only success of Erodgan’s U.S. trip is a photo with Obama, Turkish
expert added.
