/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should not link current rapprochement process
with Karabakh conflict settlement. Such position will create extra
impediments for Nagorno Karabakh, Armenian FM Edward Nalbandyan said
in an interview with Japanese Yomiuri newspaper.

"There is already an NK conflict settlement format with the involvement
of Russia, U.S. and France. That’s OSCE Minsk Group which contributes
to achieving progress." Should Turkey link bilateral relations with
Karabakh conflict, that’ll cause harm to both processes, Minister said.

At that he noted that Ankara and Yerevan have agreed to establish
ties without preconditions. "Anyway, we intend to proceed with our
effort towards achieving international recognition of 1915 Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Empire," Nalbandyan stressed.
