Negotiations between Turkey and Armenia were over and both sides were
obliged to move quickly to establish diplomatic relations and open
their border under accords signed in Zurich in October, the Armenian
Foreign Minister, Edward Nalbandian said in his interview with
Reuters.
"Why did we sign two protocols if we are not going to ratify and
implement them?" Nalbandian said. "I think the whole international
community is waiting for quick ratification and implementation and
respect for the agreements which are in the protocols."
Turkish and Armenian Foreign Ministers, Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocol.
Some parliamentarians of the Turkish parliament stated about
impossibility of ratification of the protocols signed with Armenia,
until there is progress in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
Armenia's foreign minister has rejected Turkish calls for concessions
in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh in exchange for the historic
rapprochement between Yerevan and Ankara.
"If one of the sides will delay and create some obstacles in the way
of ratification and implementation, I think it could bear all the
responsibility for the negative consequences," Nalbandian said.
The Armenian Foreign Minister said the Armenian-Turkish thaw and the
Nagorno-Karabakh negotiations were "two separate processes."
Nalbandian added that there is a "positive dynamic", but this is not
serious to say that tomorrow or in one month's time or in a very short
period of time we will come to the agreement.
