    COLD SHOWER

    Hayots Ashkhar Daily

    Armenia

    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan yesterday summed up the results of
    his one-week visit to the United States,

    Within the frameworks of the visit, the Armenian delegation had
    meetings with US Vice President Dick Chainy, Secretary of State
    Condoleezza Rice, as well as the representatives of the World Bank, the
    International Currency Fund and the Armenian lobbyist organizations.

    Introducing the details of the visit, T. Sargsyan said that during
    the meeting with D. Chainy both political and economic issues had
    been discussed. The US Vice President introduced his assessments
    on the international financial crisis and the activities carried
    out by the Bush Administration with the purpose neutralizing its
    negative impact. There were also discussions over issues concerning
    the Armenian-American cooperation and the Armenian-Turkish relations.

    "Our attitude towards the Armenian-Turkish relations has always been
    voiced by the President of the republic. That is, we are ready to
    regulate our relations with Turkey without any preconditions. It is
    Turkey that advances preconditions," the Prime Minister said.

    Pointing out that both the US Vice President and State Secretary
    attached importance to the Armenian-Turkish relations, T. Sargsyan
    introduced some details of their discussion over the issue, "I said
    that the speeches delivered by the Turkish President and Azerbaijani
    Forei gn Minister at the UN Summit had a 'cold shower' effect on
    us, since they were not in harmony with the meeting held and the
    agreements achieved before that. In particular, we consider that
    the phrase 'occupied territories' (voiced by the Turkish President)
    contains some hazards.

    In his speech, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov expressed
    belief that the Karabakh conflict should be settled in compliance
    with the Resolution adopted by the United Nations Organization; and
    this totally distorts the process of the negotiations. Naturally,
    our obligation was to inform the US Vice Presided and State Secretary
    about this," T. Sargsyan mentioned.
