Chairman of the NKR Public Council on Foreign Policy and Security
Masis Mailyan said that the destiny of the Armenian-Turkish protocols
was the most heatedly debated topic during the first months of 2010.
"The international interest towards the protocols ratification by the
Armenian and Turkish parliaments overshadowed the Karabakh conflict
settlement, despite the efforts of Baku and Ankara," Mailyan told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
He recalled that the Armenian President suspended ratification of
the protocols by the Armenian parliament on the eve of the Armenian
Genocide commemoration day. And the Karabakh conflict settlement has
again become the focus of interest of the three conflicting parties'
public and political forces.
"The NKR recognition became topical in 2010 on the background of
meetings between the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents and foreign
ministers. In the second half of 2010, Hay Dat structures took certain
actions for the NKR's international recognition. Specifically, a
fact-finding trip of members of the European Parliament to Karabakh
was organized in October 2010. Heritage parliamentary group conducted
works in the Armenian parliament for Artsakh's recognition by Armenia.
Unfortunately, Armenia's parliamentary forces have not managed to reach
a consensus on such an important matter for Armenians, as recognition
of Nagorno Karabakh. Legislatively fixed stance of Armenia on NKR's
stance would not leave false hopes for Azerbaijan and its protectors,"
the expert said.
