YEREVAN. – During his trip to Washington, Turkish Premier failed to get additional empowerment from Barack Obama to intervene in Syrian conflict, Armenian expert believes.

Turkologist Andranik Ispiryan said Turkish delegation wished to have more authority, in particular to get permission to create no-fly zone in the territory of Syria. However, the expert believes Recep Tayyip Erdogan “left Washington empty-handed.”

Before his trip to the U.S., Erdogan wanted to get Washington’s assistance on no-fly zone. After the visit, he said the UN is authorized to decide on the matter, Ispiryan told reporters on Tuesday.

The visit revealed that Turkish PM intends to visit Palestine, in particular Ramallah controlled by Fatah movement.

The only success of Erodgan’s U.S. trip is a photo with Obama, Turkish expert added.
