The Foreign Minister of Belarus, Sergey Martinov, is visiting
Armenia at the invitation of the Foreign Minister of Armenia, Edward
Nalbandian.
We do not use the full potential of the Armenian-Belarusian bilateral
cooperation, Martinov told a press conference today. Sergey Martinov
said he would like to see more Armenian goods on the Belarusian
market. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian informed, in
turn, that the Days of Belarus will be held in Armenia and the days
of Armenia will be held in Belarus in 2010.
After the signing of the protocols on October 10, the Turkish
authorities do not miss the opportunity to declare about
preconditions. Asked to comment on these, Minister Nalbandian stated:
"We have agreements incorporated in the two protocols, and they do
not include any preconditions." All other statements and comments
are secondary, he said.
It was noted in the joint statement of October 31 that the parties
were to tend to ratify and implement the protocols as soon as
possible, Edward Nalbandian reminded. "Turkish authorities insist
that the ratification of the protocols is connected with the Karabakh
issue. The Armenian authorities declare, however, that these statements
are meant for internal consumption."
Are these statements made for the domestic consumption in Armenia? "It
has been declared by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and this indicates
that they are meant for the international community, as well,"
Minister Nalbandian said.
