Head of the Republican Party of Armenia parliamentary group said that currently the process of the Karabakh conflict settlement goes on calmly enough, while Azerbaijan uses warlike statements and speculations as a method of work.
At the same time, Mr. Galust Sahakyan emphasized that the clamor raised by the Azerbaijani leadership is meant for the Azeri public.
Referring to the Armenian-Turkish normalization, he noted that after the Armenian President’s visit to Washington the international community will make new conclusions in Armenia’s favor.
“There is certain progress, since the Azerbaijani President admitted that the Armenian-Turkish process refers to Armenia and Turkey only,” he said, adding that in his opinion the Armenian-Turkish border will open.
As for the initiative of Mevlut Cavusoglu on resumption of the activity of PACE subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh, Mr. Sahakyan assessed it as a naive coquetry, which doesn’t need any reaction.
“Naturally, Turkey is still trying to poke its nose into the Karabakh conflict. Meanwhile, statements that the border will be opened only if Armenia returns Aghdam and Fizuli to Azerbaijan clearly indicate that the Ankara needs a pretext to open the border,” the Armenian PM noted, adding that Armenia will never make concessions in Karabakh process for the sake of opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.
