The RA Foreign Ministry considers that the Armenian-Turkish
negotiations should be kept secret until they reach a certain point. RA
Deputy Foreign Minister Karine Ghazinian reported at the May 6 press
conference replying to journalists' observations that Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian does not provide sufficient information to Armenia's
journalists and public. Speaking about journalists' discontent that
they learn the most important news regarding Armenian-Turkish relations
from foreign or Turkish press, K. Ghazinian reminded of the view E.
Nalbandian voiced in his interview to Haylur that in general, one
should not believe unofficial media.
The Deputy Foreign Minister said that today society in Armenia and
Diaspora is not aware of the details of Armenia's and Turkey's April
22 statement, it does not know that it has nothing in common with the
Nagorno Karabakh problem or recognition of the Armenian Genocide. All
that, according to K. Ghazinian, is Foreign Ministry's omission,
the Ministry should have provided more detailed information to the
Armenians in the whole world. "We should also work better with our
colleagues in Karabakh. In my conviction, the negative opinions on
the negotiations process received from Karabakh are the result of
poor awareness," K. Ghazinian said.
