10:55 • 07.04.10
As part of the April 12–13 Nuclear Security Summit, US President Barack Obama is currently planning to host a number of bilateral meetings, including meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, according to an official White House briefing.
Asked about a possible trilateral meeting with Obama, Sargsyan and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Gibbs simply said, “No meeting.”
Asked specifically about agenda items on Obama’s mind for the bilateral meetings, Gibbs said:
“Well, look, each of these — some of them are — some of them, obviously, deal with — directly with our proliferation efforts. Some of them will also deal with the fact that some of these countries we’ve not had a chance to sit down with.
“Some of them — there are issues that may lie slightly outside of something like proliferation — Armenia comes to mind with the normalization of relations. So I think there are a whole host of things. Obviously the focus is on nuclear security.”
Robert Gibbs noted the country’s leaders with whom Obama will be meeting. Important to note, however, was that Erdoğan was not named in that list.
