In an interview with Reuters Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard
Nalbandian has stated that Armenia is not going to reconcile with
Turkey at the expense of concessions concerning the Karabakh conflict.
He said that negotiations are over and both sides are taking steps to
ratify the protocols signed on October 10. If either side hinders this
ratification it will be responsible for any negative outcomes of this,
Nalbandian said.
The Foreign Minister stressed that normalising Turkish-Armenian
relations and resolving the Karabakh conflict are two different
issues. He said that this is not only Armenia’s position but that
of the whole world. He thinks that there are certain positive moves
being made in the direction of resolving the Karabakh conflict but
it is doubtful that a serious breakthrough will take place in the
near future.
