MOSCOW, NOVEMBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN. An international conference under
the title The Prospects of New Security Structure in Europe: Russia’s
and NATO’s role was held on November 19 in Moscow. It was organized by
the Just World Institute and Friedrich Ebert Foundation. ARFD Hay Dat
(Armenian Cause) Moscow Office Executive Yuri Navoyan participated
in the conference and gave a speech.
Making a report on Caucasian security problems he touched upon
the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations and the Nagorno
Karabakh settlement. Y. Navoyan, in particular, stressed that a
number of provisions existing in the Armenian-Turkish protocols and
Turkey’s conduct of conditioning the ratification of the protocols by
Armenian side’s concessions in the Nagorno Karabakh issue not only
fail to lead to improvement of the Armenian-Turkish relations but
also complicate one more regional process by making unpredictable
the further developments in the Nagorno Karabakh settlement.
The ARFD Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) Moscow Office Executive emphasized
that the above mentioned is also to certain extent caused by the
circumstance that at the current stage of international relations,
within the framework of Russia-West "reloading," a temptation to
as soon as possible show a joint result in any complicated region,
including Caucasus, is noticed. According to Y. Navoyan, it can result
in incomplete solutions and compulsions, which instead of contributing
to security in the region, can cause new problems.
