    ARF-D SEES HINTS OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH IN ARMENIAN-TURKISH PROTOCOLS

    Tert

    Armenia

    The foreign minister of the Republic of Armenia has no intention
    of making any changes to Armenian-Turkish Protocols, said ARF-D
    'Armenian Cause' and political affairs bureau director Kiro Manoyan
    to journalists today.

    "Logic dictates that the aim of these discussions is that, at the
    end of the day, if the sides have proposals, they must present them,"
    Manoyan said.

    According to him, the ruling party and the opposition, considering
    ARF-D's objections, preferred not to speak about the nature of the
    issue, but rather, to speak about the ARF-D's achievements and faults.

    ARF-D representatives complain that "Armenia in practice satisfies
    the three preconditions set by Turkey back in the 1990s. One of them
    is that Armenia states it has no demands from Turkey, the second is
    that Armenia refuses to continue the process of Armenian Genocide
    recognition."

    Besides, Manoyan expressed his dissatisfaction with the governing
    party's statement that the Armenian-Turkish Committee will not be "a
    committee of historians" but "a committee of experts." "It's clear
    that it is the subcommittee of the same "committee of historians,"
    which will be used by Turkey to hamper the international recognition
    process of the Armenian Genocide."

    Manoyan named the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue as
    the third precondition, noting the authorities' statement that
    there is no mention of the word "Karabakh" in the Protocols. ARF-D
    representative stated that there are hints about Karabakh in the
    Protocols, recalling the statement of the Turkish foreign minister,
    which said that Armenian-Turkish relations would not be established
    before the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
