Linking Karabakh Settlement with Armenian-Turkish Relations Incorrect
By his latest statement new Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group for settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict Matthew Bryza probably meant that he understands the issue and possesses information, Head of Hay Dat Office of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Kiro Manoyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, linking settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict with normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations is incorrect. «When Turkey opens the border with Armenia, Azerbaijan will have to come to an agreement with the Armenian party in the Karabakh issue. Turkey's stand is the opposite: it is going to open the border after settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,» Kiro Manoyan said.
