/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) does not
share Armenian community’s concerns over possibility of Armenia’s
making concessions in Karabakh settlement process and Armenian-Turkish
relations, AAA Regional Director in Armenia and NKR Arpi Vardanyab told
a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent. "We welcome the negotiations over
regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations and settlement of Karabakh
conflict. Society’s concerns over these issues are quite normal. But
what surprises me is that people criticize government just because
they are unaware of details or believe Turkish media reports," AAA
representative said, adding that she didn’t believe that Armenia has
ever made or will ever make serious concessions.

As mentioned by Arpi Vardanyan, the negotiation process contains
certain details which are confidential. "We can’t demand that Armenian
leadership inform us of all details. Negotiating countries are never
allowed to disclose details concerning talks. This is not accepted
in international practice," AAA regional director noted.

With regard to ANCA’s refusal to meet Armenian FM Edward Nalbandyan,
Mrs. Vardanyan said, "I think such step was a way of expressing the
Committee’s dissatisfaction."
