Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian advises people concerned
about Protocols on Armenian-Turkish relations not to panic.

Mr. Nalbandyan sees nothing ambiguous in the disputed protocols.

"There is no mention about the Karabakh conflict, Armenian Genocide
or the Kars Treaty. The protocols will serve as an anchorage cementing
Armenian-Turkish relations," notes the Armenian FM.

"Regardless of numerous obstacles and announcements we were
able to demonstrate political willpower, move ahead and reach an
agreement. Today the whole world welcomes this step."

Edward Nalbandian refrained from commenting on the anouncemnents and
assesments of Turkish and Azerbaijani diplomats on the protocols.

At the same time, the Armenian FM didn’t exclude that the protocols
might be voted down in the parliament of the two countries.

"Nothing is excluded," said the Minister.

Today Edward Nalbandian assured the presentees that he had never
told a lie in his life. "Certainly, there are things that I cannot
say openly but I never tell a lie."

Taking into consideration Mr. Nalbandian’s frankness A1+ addressed
him a question.

"Do you have any information on the new appointment of Serzh
Sargsyan’s son-in-law Michael Minasyan? He is said to have been
appointed ambassador after the resignation."

"I have no information," Edward Nalbandian said before A1+ could
finish the question.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
