Karabakh questions Turkey's sincerity

PanARMENIAN.Net - It's premature to give assessments to Turkey and Iran's initiative to mediate for the Karabakh problem resolution, chairman of the NKR NA committee on foreign relations Vahram Atanesyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



NKR will announce its position after exact proposals are made, according to him.



"As far as I remember, Iran was a mediator on the initial stage of talks and it has experience in resolution of problems of the kind. As for Turkey, I do question sincerity of its intentions. A supporter to Azerbaijan, it will hardly be an impartial mediator," he said.



Iran and Turkey announced intention to mediate for resolution of the Karabakh conflict after the Georgian-South Ossetian clashes. Russia welcomed the initiate. However, OSCE Minsk Group French Co-chair Bernard Fassier stated that the MG format is not subject to transformation.
