`It is essential that Armenia-Turkey Protocols were signed without any
amendments, any preconditions as Armenian side and RA President have
repeatedly stated,' stated Eduard Sharmazanov, the Secretary of ruling
Republican Faction told NEWS.am.
`As to the delay of the signing, according to recent information the
matter was as follows: Karabakh was mentioned in the final statement
of Turkish side. I suppose that Nalbandyan clearly defended the
positions of Armenian side,' said Sharmazanov.
Earlier RA MFA Press Secretary Balayan explained the reason for the
delay ` the Turkish side's attempt to include a phrase in the final
statement, which was unacceptable to the Armenian side. `We managed to
thwart the attempts,' said Balayan. He did not go into details
concerning the wording. He pointed out that the sides decided to
refrain from any final statements.
There was a phrase mentioning Karabakh in the text of Turkish side's
final statement, Turkish Zaman daily reports, referring to diplomatic
