The administration in Nagorno-Karabakh is monitoring the recent
developments in the reconciliation process between Turkey and
Armenia. The text of the protocols that will be signed in six weeks to
normalize relations has come under the scrutiny of the administration.

Kegham Bagdasharyan, a member of the local parliament, said
Armenia entered a dangerous course by giving its consent to the
protocols. "This is the prevailing sentiment in the political circles
of Nagorno-Karabakh," he said answering the questions of Hurriyet
Daily News and economic Review via e-mail.

Turkey has gained many advandages, according to Bagdasaryan, who
argued that Armenia has accepted the preconditions of Turkey.

Bagdasharyan is not convinced by the fact that there is no mentioning
to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem in the protocols. "Although there is no
mention of the problem, we believe that the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh
will be part of the talks," he said, adding that there cannot be
a solution to the problem by excluding the representatives from
Nagorno-Karabakh.
