Soon after signing the Armenia-Turkey protocols in Zurich, Turkey's
government declared the process of reconciliation has links with
the Karabakh conflict, told journalists former foreign minister of
Armenia, a member of the oppositional Armenian National Congress,
Alexander Arzoumanian.
"Armenian side of negotiations was ready at the beginning to normalize
relations with Turkey at the expense of concession in the Karabakh
talks. This agreement was reached by word of mouth," he said.
"Turkey now has received a beautiful present. It uses Armenian
Constitutional Court's decision for drawing away."
"Turkey won't ratify protocols and wasn't even going to. Nothing
surprising," he said.
"However, the pressure on Armenia will go on to progress in
ratification process at the expense of concessions in the Karabakh
talks."
