On September 2, the former NKR foreign minister Arman Melikyan
hosted at the Novosti press club focused journalists’ attention on
the Russian foreign ministry’s reaction to the Armenian and Turkish
protocols where it is noted that the Armenian and Turkish relations
are not harmful for a third country. Arman Melikyan wonders whom
Russia means by saying third country – itself or Azerbaijan. In any
case, Arman Melikyan notes that it is interesting from the point
that in case the Armenian and Turkish relations are bettered and the
border is open by the end of the year, beginning from the next year,
Russia has to say when it withdraws its army from Armenia and when
the Russian soldiers leave the Armenian and Turkish border, as in
case of open borders their staying makes no sense.
Arman Melikyan thinks Russia had better say ready to denounce the
Russian and Turkish agreement of March 16, 1921 as well as all the
following Russian-Turkish agreements.
