YEREVAN.- Armenian Foreign Ministry neither confirmed nor refuted reports on likelihood of Minister Edward Nalbandian’s participation in the upcoming meeting of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC).

“Armenia’s Foreign Ministry always receives invitations to BSEC meetings as a founder state and a full member of the organization,” Spokesperson Tigran Balayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Turkish press wrote about possibility of Nalbandian’s visit to Istanbul. Today’s Zaman reported that Turkish officials said although they had not received any official confirmation from Nalbandian’s office, they would be pleased if the Armenian foreign minister accepted the invitation.

The BSEC meeting is scheduled for June 26.
