Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian told a recent news conference
in Yerevan that there may be a need for Turkey’s involvement in
the ensuing stages of the talks over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement.

Oskanian was responding to the statement by the Russian co-chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group Yutri Merzlyakov. Oskanian said, however, said
that Armenia opposes Turkey’s participation in the current stage of
the negotiations.

Russian co-chair Merzlyakov recently said that the participation of
Turkey and the Armenian community of Nagorno Karabakh in the peace
talks is possible.
