"Today Turkey is the forth party of the Artsakh conflict," head of
Constitutional Rights Union Party Hayk Babukhanyan told a press
conference today, enumerating all the other parties - Karabakh,
Armenia and Azerbaijan.
In his words Turkey helped Azerbaijan from the very beginning,
providing it with military assistance, by closing the border with
Armenia and by not allowing even humanitarian aid to pass through
that border.
"Today all Turkey's communications, steps, plans regarding Armenia,
are definitely related to Karabakh [issue]. That is to say, Turkey
is the forth party of the Karabakh conflict," said Babukhanyan,
underlining that Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan with his football
diplomacy, in fact, proposed Ankara to withdraw from Karabakh talks,
but Turkey's genocide-creating mentality did not allow it to do that.
Further Babukhanyan mentioned he would not oppose to Turkey's
involvement in the Nagorno Karabakh peace talks provided a series of
requirements must be presented to it.
"You know, I will not be against Turkey's participation in [Karabakh]
talks as a party, but in that case Armenia must push ahead all the
requirements to Turkey that do exists on the agenda of Armenia-Turkey
relations," explained Babukhanyan.
