Armenian -Turkish ties normalization process in paused
Armenian -Turkish ties normalization process in paused. The pause will last till some progress is registered in NKR conflict settlement, Heritage Faction representative, RA MP Stepan Safaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.
"We can hardly expect a progress in Armenian-Turkish negotiations unless Armenian and Azeri Presidents reach an agreement over NKR conflict at today's Prague meeting," RA MP noted, adding that one of preconditions set by Turkey has turned into a verbal condition on Armenian-Turkish negotiations agenda.


"Still, Turkey is not so thoughtless as to sign a document containing any mention of NKR issue. At present the country has enough conflicts and does not need additional written commitments. Nevertheless, Turkey managed to start parallel Armenian-Turkish and NKR talks," the MP emphasized.


In view of recent developments Heritage representative considers it dangerous for RA President to sign any documents on NKR conflict. "RA authorities have serious issues in trying to adequately estimate the situation. The Official Yerevan has made rude mistakes in RA foreign policy," the MP emphasized.
