Arminfo. We support the activity which has led to signing of Protocols
between Armenia and Turkey. We would certainly like to see ratification
of these documents by the parliaments of both states according to
the principles on the basis of which the process has started, without
pre-conditions and linkage with other problems, Foreign Minister of
Slovakia Miroslav Laychak said at today's press-conference in Yerevan.
At the same time he declined to directly answer the question how
European Union treats the fact that Armenia is blocked by Turkey,
the country which is striving to join European Union. 'Turkey is a
candidate-state to join the EU. This gives Turkey a certain status. On
the other hand, for successful development of the process this country
should strictly implement all the conditions and taken obligations',
- Miroslav Laychak said.
Touching on the Karabakh issue he said that the EU is attentively
watching the issue. 'We support the OSCE Minsk Group activity and
the process developing on the basis of the Madrid principles. In
this case we are not going to enter the process in some other way,
as we think that it has its own parameters. There are Minsk Group
co-chairmen, and we show our aid to the structures which have been
already created', - he said.
