The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) criticized the
Secretary of State John Kerry for recognizing greater Turkish role in
the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
As reports "Armenpress" the ANCA facebook page states that Secretary
of State John Kerry pushes for a greater Turkish role in the Nagorno
Karabakh issue - despite Turkey's growing anti-Armenian bias.
ANCA criticized Secretary of State Kerry for "pouring fuel on the fire".
The U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry stated in the House of
Representatives on April 18, that Turkey would be a constructive
player in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the Cyprus
issues.
"Turkey is holding talks with us on the two unresolved conflicts -
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and resolution of the Cyprus problem. Turkey
plays a constructive role in resolving these issues," Anadolu agency
quotes Kerry as saying.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding
regions of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the occupied territories.
