/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `I am not aware that those Protocols have already
been signed. Let’s be more precise: parties have preliminarily agreed
to submit documents to their Parliaments within 6 weeks. If such
information is incorrect, you are welcome to make your objections. We
closely follow the process because the country we live in is seriously
obliged to keep track of current developments. But we are unlikely to
intervene in the Armenian authorities and citizens’ decision-making
processes. We hold a firm stance: we never did and will intervene in
Armenia’s domestic affairs even though we are concerned by certain
all-national issues related to Armenian-Turkish rapprochement,’ NKR
Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan said in an interview to Turkish NTV
channel. According to him, any discussions on Armenian-Turkish
relations and recent Protocols focus on Karabakh even though the
country is not involved in the processes.

`We’d like to see such attitude by Turkey and Turkish officials who
persist in their statements that no progress is possible without the
settlement of Karabakh conflict. We’d like the two issues to be viewed
separately,’ Petrosyan stressed.
