ArmInfo. Turkey cannot come forward as an intermediary in the Karabakh
conflict settlement, Secretary of National Security Council under the
Armenian president Artur Bagdasaryan said at today’s press-conference.

He also added Armenia has always supported Karabakh conflict settlement
within the frames of the OSCE MG.

Turkey’s President Abdullah Gul just expressed wish to support
settlement of the conflict and Armenia is ready to receive any support,
but supporting and mediation are different missions, Bagdasaryan said.

He positively assessed the fact of the American and French co-chairs of
the OSCE MG to Karabakh. ‘This is a new accent and direct reflection
of the reality that the NKR is becoming an active participant in the
process’, – Bagdasaryan said and added that Armenia is for establishing
normal dialogue with Turkey.
