ArmInfo. At present situation we are witnesses of the fact that top
officials of Turkey are openly trying to connect the Karabakh issue
with the matter of the Armenian-Turkish relations, Foreign Minister
of Nagornyy Karabakh Republic, Georgiy Petrosyan, said in an interview
with the Turkish NTV channel.
He also added that it does not promote the Karabakh conflict
settlement, and it is obvious that Turkey is a hostage of its
own promises given to Azerbaijan, which were given earlier and are
being fulfilled today. This is evidence of pressure from the side of
Azerbaijan. , - Petrosyan said.
He said one shouldn't forget that Armenianhood and Turkey have
numerous problems and complicated bundles which affect out everyday
life today. "I would like no speculations to be made on the process
of rapprochement",- said the foreign minister. He added that he would
like serious negotiations to be held between peoples, communication to
be established so that everyone could specify their positions. "In
general, these complicated items concern not only Armenianhood,
but also the Armenian world", - he said.
As regards the Karabakh problem, he said since 1988, actually on the
threshold of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenians have witnessed
in the Azerbaijani territory the well-known events concerning the
Armenian population: the wounds were undoubtedly opened again. "This
was nothing but a preparatory step towards committing a genocide. At
present there are different comments on these issues - official,
humanitarian, etc. These are issues which have a rather serious impact
on the human memory and future policy, on the possibility of normal
neighborhood in the future. It is clear that nobody will leave this
territory. In this territory one should find contact points which
should be based on both human rights and the people's rights in
general. This is the most important thing",- he concluded.
