    RPA URGES AZERBAIJANI FM STOP BUILDING CASTLES IN AIR

    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov's statements on a
    phased settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are nonsense,
    Press Secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Eduard
    Sharmazanov told NEWS.am, commenting on the Azeri FM's interpretation
    of the Madrid document.

    "I would like to call on the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister to stop
    building castles in the air. Nagorno-Karabakh's future status can by
    no means be inferior to its present status," Sharmazanov said.

    He said that Baku wants to settle the conflict, but Azerbaijan
    must first withdraw its troops from the occupied territories of
    Nagorno-Karabakh (Shahumyan, Getashen and Martunashen) and allow
    Armenian refugees to return there.

    As regards Turkish Premier Recep Erdogan's "nervous statements,"
    Sharmazanov said that they are one more proof that Turkey cannot
    "find the strength" to admit historical facts - the way to Europe is
    closed to her as it is.

    Commenting on the Turkish Premier's threats to expel Armenians from
    the country, Sharmazanov said that the more states recognize the
    Armenian Genocide the more significant the Armenian factor will
    be for Erdogan. "Erdogan spoke of 5,000 Armenians in Turkey, then
    about 70,000 an now the figure is 100,000. It is time for Ankara to
    understand that Yerevan is not to be talked to in terms of ultimatums.

    Ankara had better deal with the ratification of the protocols instead
    of making senseless statements," he said.
