Arminfo. Statement by presidents of the USA, Russia and France on
Nagornyy Karabakh is partly stemming from the interests of Turkey,
head of Hay Dut Central Office of ARF Dashnaktiutyun Kiro Manoyan
told ArmInfo correspondent when commenting on the statement.
‘This statement is made not from the interests and logic of the
Karabakh conflict settlement or its people. It is stemming from the
interests of Turkey which in this way got a carte-blanch allowing
it continue making the optimistic statements about the Karabakh
settlement’, – he said.
Manoyan said such circumstance will make it possible for Ankara to
strengthen its position more, according to which Turkey connects
establishment of diplomatic relations with Armenia with the
Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, in particular, the Karabakh settlement.
‘Anyway, such an approach is inadmissible for us as it requires
compromises from Armenia without the relevant compromises by
Azerbaijan. But it does not suppose strict answer and resolving of
the conflict. For this reason, the ARF Dashnaktiutyun is against the
old as well as a new option of the Madrid principles. The NKR should
participate in the talks on its destiny. It is simply necessary
to give the NKR such an opportunity. That’s why we think that the
authorities of Armenia must not sign any document on the basis of the
‘principles’, – Manoyan concluded.
