Armenian-Turkish relations

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Yerevan and Ankara truly reached an agreement
over route map, ARF Dashnaktsutyun being a coalition member feels
defrauded, Head of Hay Dat Bureau Kiro Manoyan told a news conference
in Yerevan. Kiro Manoyan stressed that if the route map agreement had
actually been concluded, its contents have to be publicized.

MFA statement did not say the parties actually singed the route map
agreement. Turkish media has already published the route map, which
reminds of a several-points agreement, rather than route map, Manoyan
noted.

According to Kiro Manoyan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan made it clear in his
statements that Turkey will continue negotiations with Armenia but
will not sign any agreement unless NKR issue is settled. This means
Ankara still sets preconditions. `Football diplomacy term will be
completed in October 2009. If Armenian President does not visit the
return football match, it will become clear that Armenian-Turkish
relations are up against a deadlock,’ Hay Dat Bureau Head noted.
