"When I am alone, sometimes I am laughing because in many cases
the situation seems absurd", stated Serge Sargsyan on September 30
during his meeting with the members of the Public Council when they
discussed the Armenian and Turkish relations. Serge Sargsyan touched
upon his laughing in the contest of the Karabakh issue dwelling on
the question whether the Karabakh issue is a precondition in the
process of the normalization of the Armenian and Turkish relations.

"When I am alone, sometimes I am laughing because in many cases
the situation seems absurd. People who have never been to Karabakh,
neither in Armenia, they did not go out because maybe someone from
the military commissariat could come and ask them what they were
doing there, accuse me of making compromises in Karabakh issue. Isn’t
it absurd? Do they want to defend Karabakh from me?" wonders Serge
Sargsyan and continues, "So what? Do I have go on compromises in this
question? To have what? To become the king of Armenia? What else may
excite me?" asks Serge Sargsyan rhetorically.

He notes that if we assume that there are some hints in connection
with the Kars agreement and historical questions, so there is no hint
relating to the Karabakh issue. He also notes that the Armenian society
is inclined to believing foreigners, when Erdoghan says Karabakh is
a precondition and when they say it is not, people believe Erdoghan.

Serge Sargsyan says that even the international society states about
the lack of preconditions and no link to the Karabakh issue. According
to Serge Sargsyan, the Minsk group co-chairs are likely to underline
this circumstance in the nearly future. According to him, the Karabakh
issue of course has to be settled when they reach a variant expressing
all the aims and approaches of Armenians, so separate discussions
will be held in this connection.
