The Former Foreign Minister of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Arman
Melikyan told at news conference that the protocol published by
Foreign Ministries of Armenia and Turkey and Switzerland as mediator
state is a very interesting advancement.

If the matter is opening of Armenian-Turkish border, then the border
exists and there is a contract between Armenia and Turkey.

"If Kars paper has already exhausted itself and we are long to create
mutual relations then Kars resolution should be denounced and Armenia
and Turkey should form new relations based on different legal basis,"
expert said.

Whether the protocols have any connection to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
Melikyan said that NKR conflict is issue number one in the region and
all the activities implemented by powerful states and our regional
countries are correlated to the perspectives of NKR conflict settlement
or non-settlement.
