/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia should not be sensitive to Turkish senior
officials’ statements concerning the settlement of Karabakh conflict,
Prosperous Armenia MP Naira Zohrabyan says. "We can’t treat them as
something serious unless they are voiced during the talks," she told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to her, Turkey and Azerbaijan make such statements with
domestic policy considerations. Should Turkey link the current
rapprochement process with the resolution of Karabakh conflict Armenia
will withdraw from the process, she finds.
With regard to recent Obama- Erdoghan meeting, Zohrabyan said Turkish
Premier could not have discussed Karabakh issue with U.S. leader since
Obama’s letter to American-Armenian community clearly distinguishes
the two issues from one another.
Touching upon "reasonable timeframes" enshrined in RA-Turkish
Protocols, Armenian MP said the maximum deadline for Armenia is March
2010. "If, by that time, Turkey remains uncertain about ratifying
protocols, Armenia will undertake relevant steps."
