YEREVAN. - No negotiations are running or run between Yerevan and
Ankara on normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations, Armenian FM Edward
Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with the U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton in Yerevan on Monday.
According to him, negotiations run earlier and ended up by signing
Armenian-Turkish protocols, which Turkey does not respect and does
not implement them, at the same time putting forward preconditions.
"I do not believe Turkey has the right to set preconditions for
normalizing bilateral relations. It should be realized without any
preconditions, this is the position of both Armenia and international
community and this is what [Secretary] Clinton has repeated for many
times," Nalbandian stressed.
To note, protocols on normalizing relations between Armenia and Turkey
were signed on October 10, 2009 in Zurich. However, the ratification of
protocols in both parliaments was suspended due to the unconstructive
position of Turkey, as the latter put forward preconditions after
signing the protocols.
