    TURKEY'S PRECONDITIONS TO ARMENIA ARE POINTS OF ROAD-MAP: NAGORNY KARABAKH FOREIGN MINISTER

    ArmInfo. All the preconditions of Turkey to Armenia are the points
    of the road-map, the ex-foreign minister of the Nagorny Karabakh
    Republic (NKR), ex-candidate for president of Armenia Armen Melikyan
    told media Thursday.

    'I think the road-map is a declaration and it maybe compared
    with Moscow Declaration signed in Maindorf last year. The only
    difference is that this time the mediator is Switzerland instead of
    Russia and the Armenian-Turkish relations are in question instead
    of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations', he said. He thinks the given
    declaration is of moral nature and does not force any commitments on
    the parties. 'The problem of the Armenian-Turkish relations cannot be
    settled overnight. There are too many reefs between these states. That
    is why, the parties agreed on a certain situational way out i.e. the
    document developed in Switzerland. However, it does not in favor of
    Armenia. The country needs more substantial document', he said.

    To recall, the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported that Turkey and
    Armenia, together with Switzerland as mediator, have been working
    intensively with a view to normalizing their bilateral relations
    and developing them in a spirit of good-neighborliness, and mutual
    respect, and thus to promoting peace, security and stability in the
    whole region.

    The two parties have achieved tangible progress and mutual
    understanding in this process and they have agreed on a comprehensive
    framework for the normalization of their bilateral relations in a
    mutually satisfactory manner. In this context, a road-map has been
    identified.

    This agreed basis provides a positive prospect for the on-going
    process.

    Turkey is known to make three preconditions for establishment of
    bilateral relations with Armenia: Armenia's refusal from the policy
    towards international recognition of Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman
    Empire; settlement of Karabakh conflict in favor of Azerbaijan;
    ratification of the Kars Treaty.
