Spezzatura Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 An obstacle to a planned visit by Foreign Minister Ali Babacan to Yerevan for a foreign ministerial meeting of Black Sea countries is another landmark meeting on Pakistan -- with which Turkey shares special relations -- that will be held in Japan on the same days. However, a donors conference aimed at bringing stability to Pakistan will be held in Tokyo on April 17. Babacan is eager to participate in the conference on Pakistan, a frontline US ally in the campaign against the Taliban and al-Qaeda extremists that has been wracked by growing violence and economic instability, due to the importance attached to the maintenance of stability in this country. Currently, the scheduling of the two meetings in Yerevan and Tokyo seems to hinder Babacan's participation in both of the meetings. Nonetheless, diplomatic sources didn't exclude his participation in either, saying the minister would make his final decision "according to the situation" in the last week before the meetings. Although Ankara has a high opinion of BSEC and wants to revitalize it as an influential regional consultation mechanism, Babacan's participation in the group's next meeting in Yerevan apparently will still depend on Armenia's commitment to the ongoing rapprochement process and on the progress of closed-door talks with Armenia. остальное тут Quote Link to post Share on other sites
