/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The NKR public forum passed Thursday a statement on
the agreement on road map signed between the Foreign Ministries of
Armenia and Turkey.

`The adoption of the statement aroused deep concerns in Artsakh. This
was a political blunder pregnant with catastrophic outcomes for the
Armenian people. The adoption of a statement on the eve of the
Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day was an inadmissible failure of
Armenian diplomacy,’ says the statement issued by more than dozens of
NKR NGOs.

`Opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is possible only if Turkey
recognizes the Armenian Genocide and the right of the people of
Artsakh to build their independent state. Keeping NKR and Diaspora
away from the negotiation process, the authorities of the Republic of
Armenia renounce their right to participate in Karabakh talks. We
state that Armenia’s decision on the road map’ conflicts with the
interests of the Armenian nation,’ is says.
