STEPANAKERT, 13. 10. 08. DE FACTO. "Turkey's proposal concerning the
establishment of Caucasian platform is immediately connected with
Karabakh issue. As a whole, in the issue relevant to Armenian-Turkish
relations Turkey should not propose preliminary conditions, one of
which refers to Karabakh issue", a representative of Artsakh ARFD
Bureau David Ishkhanian stated in the course of the hearings entitled
"Situation in the South Caucasus: Perspectives of NKR's Recognition"
held at the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Parliament.
"We do not mind establishing relation with Turkey, however, Turkey
should not be in the lead of the region", David Ishkhanian added.
According to DE FACTO own correspondent in Stepanakert, a
representative of ARFD Bureau David Ishkhanian called the hearings
substantial and interesting. However, in his opinion, the hearings'
subject is premature. "Political events are rapidly developing,
consequently, I believe that Armenian-Turkish relation should have
become the parliamentary hearings' subject", David Ishkhanian noted.
At that he added that parliamentary hearings prompted the necessity of
more serious attitude to the process of NKR's recognition in current
borders. "Hearings on this subject should be initiated in the near
future", the representative of Artsakh ARF Bureau noted.
To note, the hearings were initiated by the NKR National Assembly's
Permanent Commission for External Relations. Ashot Gulian, the NKR
NA Chairman, Georgy Petrosian, the NKR FM, Shavarsh Kocharian, the RA
Deputy FM, and the representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh's parliamentary
and outer parliamentary forces partook at the hearings.
