Armenian authorities seriously lack intellectual potential, Republic party's political board member Suren Surenyants told a news conference in Yerevan. Commenting upon FM Edward Nalbandyan's recent press conference, speaker stressed that Foreign Minister was justifying himself in front of journalists instead of explaining the essence of Armenian-Turkish relations.

Turkey, unlike Armenia, pursues rather flexible diplomacy, Surenyants noted, adding that the quality of Armenian authorities' work is a major task for all Armenians vs. United States or Turkey. "Authorities' work should to create a quality complying with international standards," he stressed.
