TURKEY SHOULD NOT INTERVENE IN KARABAKH SETTLEMENT – ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTER

Mediamax Agency, Armenia
Dec 19 2007

Yerevan, 19 December: Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said
today in Yerevan that "regardless of its liking for Azerbaijan,
Turkey has no right to intervene in the process of the Nagornyy
Karabakh settlement, as this problem applies to Nagornyy Karabakh
and Azerbaijan, Armenians and Azerbaijanis."

While speaking at the parliamentary session on "Armenian-Turkish
relations: Problems and Prospects", the foreign minister said that
"the Turkish side is displaying a distorted approach in response to
Armenia’s fair proposals", the Armenian news agency Mediamax reported.

Oskanyan said Turkey missed the historic opportunity to normalize
relations with Armenia twice – after the collapse of the Soviet Union
and in 2003 when the negotiations on Turkey’s accession to the European
Union started.

The Armenian foreign minister accused Turkey of serious violations of
the Kars and Moscow treaties signed in the early 1920s, which settled
the issue of borders and diplomatic relations.

Oskanyan said that a draft memorandum on the establishment of
diplomatic ties between Armenia and Turkey was prepared in 1993,
but this document was not signed because of the preconditions set
by Turkey.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
