Turkey needs to be reminded: Armenia is not one of its provinces


Obvious progress is observed in Armenian diplomacy: Armenia managed to separate RA-Turkey rapprochement process from Karabakh conflict settlement issue, Social Democrat Hunchakian Party member Vardan Khachatryan said.

As he stated during joint news conference with RPA member Karen Avagyan, Turkey and Azerbaijan still continue pressure.

At the same time he noted that the language of ultimatum negotiations are conducted with, will most probably hamper their normal course. “Turkey needs to be reminded: Armenia is not one of its provinces, so the language of preconditions will be ineffective here,” Khachatryan said.

Karen Avagyan stated, for his part, that Armenia adhered to its course throughout the process of negotiations with Turkey, which attempts to shift the responsibility for talks-related problems on Yerevan.
