"Armenia-Turkey Protocols do not mention Karabakh issue, as if they
do Armenia would oppose them and the documents would not be signed,"
Head of the Turkish delegation to OSCE PA Alaattin Buyukkaya told in
an interview with Day.az.
According to him, the Protocols are in the interests Turkey, Armenia
and Azerbaijan, as signing the documents "Armenian side accepts
Turkey’s territorial integrity, historians’ commission is assigned
for discussion of Genocide issue and the goal to achieve peace in
the region is set."
"As is known, RA Constitutional Court discredits Turkey’s integrity.
Armenian side to date opposed discussion of the issue by historians and
claimed it was politically motivated. However, signing the Protocols
they agreed that the issue will be discussed by historians.
Meanwhile, Armenia agreed to Turkey’s participation in the regional
peace processes. This means that Turkey’s participation in the
liberation of ‘occupied’ Azerbaijani territories is predetermined,"
said Buyukkaya.
Armenian side has repeatedly stated that opposes discussion of Genocide
issue by historians’ sub-commission, whereas Turkey asserts that it
will be set up to discuss the matter.
