The response of the RA MFA press secretary to the question of “Armenpress” agency:

Question: How would you interpret the statement of the Turkish Foreign Minister that the Armenian-Turkish protocols were signed with certain preconditions?

Answer: The Turkish Foreign Minister simply lies.

If we follow the same logic, we can state that Turkey has promised to recognize the independence of Artsakh during the negotiations.

To remind, the negotiations with Turkey started in 2008 with the mutual consent that the process could not have any precondition. Based on this agreement, the negotiations were started and the Zurich protocols were signed.

They have repeatedly stated about the lack of preconditions from different capitals well-aware of the process.
