Heritage Foundation expert denies information on new Turkish-Armenian "road map"

Earlier, Armenian media outlets distorted words of officials, including OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, but this time Russian agency Regnum distinguished itself.

In Stanislav Tarasov's article, published in early April by the agency, the author referred to the well-known political expert, a leading expert on Russia, Eurasia, and international energy security of The Heritage Foundation (USA), Ariel Cohen, who allegedly told about the forthcoming document that Armenian and Turkish sides will sign in the near future.

In particular, the article says: "According to American analyst Ariel Cohen, Washington is drafting a new Turkish-Armenian "Road Map" to be signed by Yerevan and Ankara. However, details of this draft have not yet been announced."

However, Cohen was much surprised to hear about Tarasov's article. "I discussed the possibility of concluding such a treaty, but certainly not with the agency "Regnum" and not with Tarasov, whose name I heard for the first time," Cohen said.

According to him, it is known only that Erdogan and Sargsyan will meet in Washington Apr.12, but whether they will sign a "road map" is unknown.

"I don't think they will sign it, although the President Obama would like it, as this would freeze voting on the resolution on the so-called "genocide" of  the U.S. Congress. in the House of Representatives. But the agency "Regnum" should verify information before publishing it," Cohen said.
