RA President didn’t pay enough attention to possible risks. He didn’t
make profound analysis with regard to two extremely important issues:
Karabakh settlement and Armenia-Turkish ties normalization," Armenian
Liberal Party Leader Hovhannes Hovhannisyan told a news conference.

The President should be bold enough to start active processes
towards solution of such serious national issues, Mr. Hovhannisyan
finds. "Launching diplomatic attack on Turkey is simply ridiculous,
considering the country’s political and diplomatic structures in
which President acts hand in hand with Prime Minister. Armenia lacks
proper political and economic foundations for President to rely upon,"
he noted.

Mr. Hovhannisyan finds Turkey has set serious trap for
Armenia. "Karabakh settlement and Armenian-Turkish ties normalization
were parallel processes but, for some reason, they clashed against
each other," Hovhannisyan said, stressing that border opening and
country’s economic development should not be achieved at such price.
