Commenting on the latest developments in the Armenian-Turkish
relations, ex-President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkady
Ghukasyan noted that "we have all chances to reach what we want and
there is no need to give way to panic." "Some tactical changes do
not mean changes in strategy," he said.
NKR President Bako Sahakyan noted that those in Karabakh are closely
watching the development of events and they see no danger. According
to him, there have been only positive developments, because the
international community will see which nation is really committed to
the normalization of those relations.
"We have to do with a country, where deception is part of policy,"
Bako Sahakyan said. "Turkey’s controversial statements do not inspire
hope for honest and sincere relations," he noted.
As for the possible developments in the Karabakh process in autumn,
Bako Sahakyan noted: "We have no grounds to doubt whether the
Co-Chairs are really interested in solving the issue. But there can
be no activeness in the process, since the main party is not involved
in the talks. We can speak about an active period only after we review
the format of the negotiatoions," NKR President said.
