    ATHENS, DECEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS: During the meeting of the Armenian
    and Turkish foreign ministers in Athens the parties spoke about the
    process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations and processes of
    ratification of protocols. No refer to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    issue was made, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said at
    a briefing with reporters.

    "There was no need to enter into thorough discussions over Karabakh
    issue as we cannot tie these two processes with each other," the
    minister said. In his speech at the OSCE Ministerial Council he
    pointed out that tying of Nagorno Karabakh conflict and normalization
    of Armenian-Turkish relations will only harm the both processes.

    "We tell it to all, including to Turks. It is not only our opinion,
    it is the opinion of the international community," E. Nalbandyan
    pointed out. The participants of the session of the Ministerial
    Council, referring to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, were pointing
    out in their speeches that the process of settlement of the Karabakh
    conflict is not connected with the normalization of Armenian-Turkish
    relations. According to Azerbaijani sources, in Athens during the
    meeting of the Azerbaijani and Turkish foreign ministers A. Davudoghlu
    said that as if at the meeting with the Armenian foreign minister he
    said that the protocols will not be ratified as far as the Karabakh
    conflict is not settled.

    "Why we signed these protocols if we are not going to ratify and
    implement them. I think that the two parties realize that it is
    necessary to ratify the protocols in the possible reasonable timeframe
    and implement them," the Armenian foreign minister said, explaining
    that "reasonable timeframe" means not creating artificial obstacles,
    difficulties on that way.

    The initiator of the meeting of the Armenian and Turkish foreign
    ministers was the Turkish side, and Armenia gave its consent. "As
    far as we are conducting a process, why not meet and speak? Thanks to
    dialogue, meetings and negotiations today we have two signed protocols
    which open an opportunity for the normalization of further relations,"
    the minister pointed out.
