"Erdogan's latest statement clearly contains preconditions, specifically about the so-called corridor," opposition lawmaker Tigran Abrahamyan told reporters on Wednesday, commenting on the possibility of normalizating relations with Armenia by Turkish president Erdogan made in Varanda.
In Abrahamyan's words, despite the assurances of the Armenian leaders, it is obvious that Turkey and Azerbaijan are exerting huge pressures to achieve desired results. That is expressed either in incidents on the borderline or in certain stages in political processes. "Armenia is under huge pressure at present. In the current situation, it is with regret to record that even in the post-war developments Azerbaijan and Turkey exert additional pressures on Armenia and bring forward new preconditions," stressed Abrahamyan.
Apart from the corridor, per Abrahamyan, there is another factor to consider. "Azerbaijan continuously says that the Nagorno Karabakh issue is resolved, however, the part of Artsakh is in no way controlled by Azeris which makes them dissatisfied. "Azerbaijan seeks to fix in a document its desired solution through every mean, including through various documents and processes," added Abrahamyan.
