Armenia reserved on dialogue with Turkey

Turkish Daily News
Armenia said yesterday it would be meaningless to engage in dialogue with Turkey if the dialogue was not likely to produce a satisfactory outcome.
“Any possible meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül must have a purpose; otherwise, it would be pointless for us to meet,” Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian was quoted as saying by the Anatolia news agency.
Oskanian also claimed that Turkey was attempting to convince the international community that it was engaged in a genuine dialogue with Armenia, something that he said was not true.
