"Entering the so-called process of normalization of relations, Turkey
had a very clear single goal – to be involved into settlement of
Karabakh problem. They were trying to do it over 16 years but failed.
They couldn’t issue such statements that time. Today we gave them such
an opportunity and Turkey today is as same mediator as mediators of
OSCE Minsk group," said at today’s press-conference representative
of oppositional Armenian National Congress Vladimir Karapetyan.
He also pointed that the Armenian-Turkish protocols are drawn up
unprofessionally.
"When you are negotiating with the country like Turkey your agreements
must be perfect containing such wording which will not call into
being challenges."
In his opinion, the pacts’ are unprofessional as have unacceptable
wordings especially those on historians’ commission.
Saying that the situation is "very serious" Karapetyan considered
valid and logical the visit of President Sargsyan to NKR exactly
during these days.
"Seeing the gravity, Serzh Sargsyan initiated talks with NKR’s
authorities, since at this moment there is a necessity to clarify
the positions."
Vladimir Karapetyan also mentioned the Armenian authorities’ policy
of keeping silence under rain of Turkey’s charges which sound from
foreign ministry’s level and name Armenians as "occupies".
"We ourselves have provided this opportunity and now receive answers.
Just imagine, Turkey’s Foreign Minister signs an agreement on
reconciliation of relations and names us "occupies"."
The politician also expressed confidence that the ratification will
not be adopted at Turkey’s Parliament under maximum contribution of
"offended Azerbaijan".
