WHAT DOES ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY DO, WHEN TURKEY IS COMPARED WITH FASCIST GERMANY?

Armenian Foreign Ministry doesn’t act according to the existing
situation, constantly thinking that both Turkish official statements
made from UN platforms and Deputy Turkish Foreign Minister’s
participation in the OSCE Minsk Group’s activities are addressed
to their own public, said Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D) MP Hrair Karapetyan today.
The member of parliament thinks that the Foreign Ministry instead of
neutralizing the statements made by Turkey’s leadership, opposes
their party’s position. He quoted a section from the National
Security Strategy on the blockade on Armenia by Turkey and accused
the foreign minister, because the latter "takes advantage of that and
doesn’t state that it is inadmissible in international practice that
relations between two countries are connected with relations with a
third country."
"The present phase showed that Turkey is setting a precondition to
Armenia," Karapetyan stated. He emphasized that so far there hasn’t
been such a situation when Turkey was showing unprecedented activeness
in the Nagorno-Karabakh process. This, according to the ARF-D MP,
directly results from signing of the Protocols.
Criticizing actions of the Armenian leadership Karapetyan recalled
that recently the president of Cyprus stated that Turkey’s present
attitude is like that of Fascist Germany, when people made concessions
to Hitler so that he wouldn’t become more aggressive. According to
Karapetyan, many condemn Turkey, but Armenia doesn’t.
"The statements of all Turkish political officials, their recent
hints that Turkey must become a member of the OSCE Minsk Group, prove
that signing of the Protocols by Armenia as they are presently was
not justified."
