On April 29, in answer to Victor Dallakyan’s question whether the
Armenian and Turkish document contains a provision on the agreement
of Kars, the Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan answered,
saying that there is not such a point, and explained that the roadmap
is time-table of the steps the two sides are to take up for the
agreements and arrangements to be carried into life. Nalbandyan added
that the roadmap does not contain any provision on the principles in
that sense. He noted that the statement signed on April 22 was just
a statement and not a document.

The parliamentary member from ARF Dashnaktsutyun Artyusha Shahbazyan
asked a question on the commission of historians saying that there is
some hint in this connection in the official message on the session
of the Turkish Security Council, according to which the 1915 events
are to be studied. In answer to the question on the commission of
the historians, Edward Nalbandyan said that the statement singed on
April 22 runs that the sides have recorded some progress and both of
them are satisfied with it.

Nalbandyan stated that there cannot be any precondition, as he
personally and the president of the country stated very often that
they launched the establishment of relations without any precondition
and they reached the progress by the same logic.
