    Commenting on the two Armenian-Turkish protocols, the former NKR
    foreign minister Arman Melikyan stated on September 2 he has heard
    different comments from the government camp, from the HAK and the
    ARF Dashnaktsutyun but in fact he has not found any comment there.

    Arman Melikyan says if the point is about the Armenian and Turkish
    border, the border is already drown. And if there is a functioning
    agreement, what is the need for additional agreements. He says a
    new agreement should be signed only in case the agreement of Kars is
    repealed to launch new Armenian and Turkish negotiations. According
    to Melikyan, these two agreements solve two different problems. It
    could be a joint document, in other words, establishment of diplomatic
    relations is to be seen in the context of mutual relations.

    According to him, the document on the establishment of diplomatic
    relations gives rise to a number of questions, including the one on
    the recognition of the Armenian and Turkish border. Arman Melikyan
    says there is a nuance that the agreement of Kars is multilateral, as
    other countries, in particular, Georgia, Russia, and Azerbaijan also
    participated in it. According to Arman Melikyan, Turkey, with the help
    of the protocol on diplomatic relations, solves the important issues
    of the agreement of Kars, without referring back to the agreement of
    Kars. According to Melikyan, through the Armenian-Turkish protocols
    Turkey confirms Armenia's losses and does it with the help of Armenia.

    "In other words, if the point is the Armenian and Turkish border,
    Armenia confirms the existence of the Armenian and Turkish border and
    does not touch upon the question of Nakhijevan, enabling Turkey to
    tell Azerbaijan that they defend their interests," says Arman Melikyan.

    In answer to the question what impact the Armenian and Turkish
    relations will have on life in Armenia, Arman Melikyan answers that
    the society has to start thinking. "I think it is high time that the
    public start thinking about building their future themselves. We need
    knowledge, patriotism and self-denial for it. We have all this and
    I am sure this helped us to win the war. But this phase of relative
    peace, when someone became rich and others became poor and the public
    grew immoral, is a very dangerous phase," says Arman Melikyan.
