ARMENIAN LAWMAKER CENSURES TURKISH COUNTERPARTS OVER RELATIONS
Interfax

The speaker of Armenia's parliament on Thursday criticized the Turkish
legislature for trying to link the planned establishment of diplomatic
relations between the two countries to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"I take an extremely negative attitude to these statements," Ovik
Abrahamian told a news conference. "I believe that it is dishonest
because the Armenian and Turkish presidents have reached agreement that
diplomatic relations will be established without any preconditions."
Abrahamian said the Armenian parliament would issue its resolution
on Armenian-Turkish protocols agreed by the two presidents as a move
toward establishing diplomatic relations after the Turkish lawmakers
have handed down their own verdict.
The Armenian Constitutional Court will consider the protocols on
January 12 and submit them for parliamentary ratification if it sees
them as being in line with the constitution.
