While speaking with journalists today, representative of the foreign
relations commission of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) Vladimir
Karapetyan referred to challenges the country faces, which, according
to him, are the internal political crisis, the existence of political
prisoners, regress in democracy, the Nagorno-Karabakh issue and
Armenian-Turkish relations.
Initiating the Armenian-Turkish process on the background of existing
problems, according to the ANC representative, is full of challenges
and pursues a different purpose.
"I have come to the conclusion that Serzh Sargsyan initiated this
dangerous game with only one purpose, to divert the public’s attention
from the intensifying unlawful actions and tyranny within the country,
to divert the international community’s attention from the issue of
political prisoners in the country and particularly from the charge
brought against Nikol Pashinyan, and the measures to imprison him,
which is beyond common sense," Karapetyan said.
Referring to the signed Armenian-Turkish Protocols, Karapetyan stated
they weren’t created diplomatically. "These are poorly developed
documents resulted from poor negotiations."
