YEREVAN.- Turkish and Azerbaijani media outlets exaggerated greatly writing about a “meeting” of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Rome.

The Turkish Minister entered a bus transporting high ranking officials participating in the events and greeted all of them, including the Armenian leader, a reliable source told Armenian News-NEWS.am. His politeness provoked rumors about alleged meeting.

However, Turkish and Azerbaijani press rushed to inform of a meeting. In particular, Azerbaijani APA news agency referring to the Turkish Hurriyet newspaper reported Davutoglu had a short conversation with the Armenian President and long meeting with Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev. During the meeting with Aliyev, the officials had an in-depth discussion on the Karabakh issue, the agency says.

Representatives of 73 world states gathered in Rome on Thursday to attend solemn events dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification.
