Coverage gap: no sources confirm Erdogan-Armenian PM meeting in New York
The submitted coverage does not contain any reports of a meeting between Turkish President Erdogan and the Armenian prime minister, though it does document other diplomatic activity around the UN General Assembly in New York.
What happened
The coverage instead documents separate diplomatic activity in New York during the 81st UN General Assembly, including Erdoğan discussing Black Sea security with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.1
Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan held meetings with counterparts from Venezuela, El Salvador, and Guinea-Bissau and signed a double taxation avoidance agreement with El Salvador.2
Erdoğan separately expressed confidence that Turkey would be readmitted to the US F-35 fighter jet program, citing what he described as positive willingness from US President Donald Trump.4
