We cannot expect anything positive - either in the process of
normalizing Armenia-Turkey relations nor in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue,
ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation) Dashnaktsutyun Armenian Cause
Bureau Director Giro Manoyan told journalists in Yerevan today.
Manoyan asserted that it is very beneficial for Turkey that the
Armenia-Turkey Protocols exist as a signed document. "Turkey has the
advantage. We've satisfied the preconditions and received nothing,"
he said.
According to him, in terms of Armenia-Turkey relations, the US commends
the work of Armenia's authorities.
Weighing in on the Karabakh conflict, Manoyan believed that the
"negotiations as a way will continue" - the Minsk Group co-chairs in
the coming months will continue their work with the foreign affairs
ministers of both countries.
During the press conference, the Dashnak representative also addressed
recent developments in Russia, stating that the scenario of Putin
and Medvedev changing places is not possible in Armenia. He sees no
grounds for this.
Manoyan, however, did note that if current PM Vladimir Putin is elected
president, there might be a change in Armenia's foreign policy,
taking into consideration the fact that with Putin's return there
might be changes in the entire region.
