"It’s an obvious lie, there is no new document being discussed or to be
discussed in Armenia-Turkey normalization agenda. As we had announced
previously, there is only one document in Armenia-Turkey discussions:
Zurich protocols, signed October 10, 2009" Armenian NA ARP deputy
Artak Zakaryan told Panorama.am referring to the statement of Suat
Kiniklioglu, Chairman of the Turkish-American Inter-Parliamentary
Friendship Group, made in Washington.

Note that Kiniklioglu announced in Washington that Armenia and Turkey
have agreed to remain silent for a while since a new recommendation has
appeared on the table of negotiations. He also said Armenian-Turkish
normalization and Karabakh issue are parallel processes.

Focusing on Kiniklioglu statement over the linkage of Armenian-Turkish
normalization and Karabakh issue, Zakaryan said: "By the time the
Turkish side is trying to find any direct or indirect linkage between
the two processes, this already questions any model of Armenian-Turkish
normalization."
