ED. NALBANDYAN: "RUMORS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TURKISH MEDIATION IN THE NK ISSUE ARE JUST NONSENSE"
http://times.am/?l=en&p=6433
Today during the joint press conference with Cyprian Minister of
Foreign Affairs Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandyan
was asked some questions by the journalists.
"After the decision by the French Constitutional Court about the bill
of the criminalization of Armenian Genocide Turkish and Azerbaijani
sides announced that it was the victory of speech freedom. How would
you comment on these announcements?", Mr. Nalbandyan was asked.
"Both Turkey and Azerbaijan are on the last places by the media freedom
index and they are on the 162nd and 148th places by the speech freedom
index. And I do not think that such states have right to give lessons
to other countries and explain what media freedom means".
The next question was again about Turkey. "Mr. Nalbandyan, there is
information for the last time that Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting will be
held by the initiative of Turkish Minister of Defense Ahmed Davutoglu
and US State Secretary Hilary Clinton. How this format acceptable
for the Armenian side?"
"USA is one of the co-chairing countries of the OSCE MG and it has
a constructive mediation in NK issue settlement process. But the
rumors about the possibility of Turkish mediation in the issue are
just nonsense".
