/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "A primary task in any talks is time factor,
something Armenia is unable to take advantage of," "Heritage"
faction representative Stepan Safaryan told today a news conference
on "Armenian-Turkish relations: present and past". Turkey perfectly
times everything in its own favor. A fair example of that was the
statement on "road map" prior to April 24, when US President Barack
Obama was expected to pronounce the word "genocide".
According to Safaryan, Armenia has been several times caught up in
the Turkey’s "trap". For instance, it gave consent to Turkey’s idea
on setting up an intergovernmental commission, in anticipation that
Turkey will study historical heritage. Ankara, in turn, rejected the
proposal, finding it unnecessary.
Another example Safaryan brought was Turkish President’s visit to
Armenia. "When Armenian President invited his Turkish colleague to
Yerevan, Turkish side interpreted it as present to Armenian side"
the speaker said, noting that Armenia was unable to support its
own initiative.
