YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN. Serious developments,
in particular, in the issues of Armenian-Turkish relations and
Nagorno Karabakh settlement, await Armenia and Armenian society in
the future. Arman Musinian, the Spokesperson of first RA President
Levon Ter-Petrosian, expressed such an opinion at a September 23
press conference. In his words, the Armenian National Congress (ANC)
will play a very active role in these processes. A. Musinian does
not exclude, either, holding of special elections in the country.

He also mentioned that the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations accelerated the Nagorno Karabakh settlement. "No matter how
much these authorities insist that these two issues are not connected
with each other, all the same they have linked them with eath other
and will have to give a solution to them with a common package,
which causes anxiety," he said.

According to him, ANC and ARFD cannot unite in fighting the current
process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations "as the latter
does not demand RA President’s resignation and naively thinks that
the RA Foreign Minister is to blame for all this."

A. Musinian said that ANC will not take part in the parliamentary
hearings on discussion of Armenian-Turkish protocols as they are a goal
in themselves and have an imitation nature. "No task of changing the
protocols, but only a task of ratifying them or not has been set. And
the parliament being a non-political structure will organize purely
formal hearings. The parliament willy-nilly will ratify the decision
it will be ordered from Baghramian, 26," A. Musinian said.
