ArmInfo. The Nagorno Karabakh problem should not be ruled out of the
agenda in the issue of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations,
however, this issue should not be a priority, resident of the Chamber
of Local Authorities of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities
of the Council of Europe (CLRAE) Ian Micallef told ArmInfo.
According to him, this problem appears among other ones and it is
necessary to clear up both the positive and negative sides of the
problem. As he said, it is necessary to start with a positive that
will give us a sense of trust to another party. So, he thinks that
a dialogue between the parties and not solution of the Karabakh
problem should become a priority. He added that a dialogue between
Armenia and Turkey will be most likely stopped is the Karabakh
problem is advanced. I. Micallef hopes that the dialogue will go
on and lead to the recovery of relations, trust and peace in the
region. According to him, there is another way of achievement of
the objective and protection of own rights, it is just necessary to
tighten the cooperation and then clear up the problems. He emphasized
that they try to assist the parties to look at it just in this aspect.
