ArmInfo. Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is an important issue of
Armenian-Turkish diplomacy, Director of Armenian Center for National
and International Studies Richard Giragosian said at a seminar in
Yerevan, Wednesday.
According to him, Turkey’s constant demands on the Karabakh issue
is a challenge not only to Armenia, but to the whole international
community. He pointed out that the progress in Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is not on the agenda today. He said he personally did not
expect any changes in the Karabakh peace process. Now it is more
important how to define this process in which Turkey and OSCE are
expecting some signs of progress, Giragosian said. He added that
Armenia has strong expectations from Turkey to take further steps
to restore the relations, and Brussels and Washington are exerting
constant pressure on Turkey for the latter to implement its commitments
within a reasonable period of time.
