Armenian president leaves for Bursa

Armenian Presidential Spokesman Samvel Farmanyan said the Armenian leader will be accompanied by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan, Deputy Foreign Ministers Arman Kirakosyan and Shavarsh Kocharyan, other high-ranking officials.

The Armenian delegation is to arrive in Bursa at about 6:00 p.m. Yerevan time.

This is the fourth visit paid to Turkey by the Armenian leaders. Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan paid two visits to Turkey: in June 1992, he participated in the Summit of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC), and in April 1993 he attended the funeral of late President Halil Turgut Özal.

Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan attended the OSCE Summit in Istanbul in November 1999.
