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.
