"ESPECIALLY THE SECOND PART OF GUL'S STATEMENT WAS FROM THE SERIES OF GULNAZ GRANDMOTHER'S TALES."
August 20 2013
"For me, especially the second part of Gul's statement was from the
series of Gulnaz grandmother's tales",- so answered Karen Avagyan, NA
Republican MP, to the question of Aravot.am as to how he interprets
the statement of Turkey's President Abdullah Gul in Gabala that the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem must be resolved in the shortest possible
time, and that he would like that the summit of the Council of Turkic
states cooperation is held in Karabakh. More specifying on his
mind, Mr. Avagyan said, "Gul's words are valued for me as much as
Gul's signature under the once Armenian-Turkish protocols in their
country, which was not signified by his country, itself. Therefore,
this statement can only have a sneering approach." Pursuant to Karen
Avagyan, Gul little by little is becoming alike the head of Azerbaijan,
who has started just making statements, rather than getting close to
the business. Continuing, Mr. Avagyan said,- "Specifically, for Gul,
he would better be consistent with at least his signature." To our
question as to how this announcement must be used in the field of
RA foreign policy, Karen Avagyan replied,- "In these years, Turkey
was trying to intervene in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, but the international community has selected another
format, the Minsk Group, which in the course of years has outlined
the settlement of the conflict, and its recommended principles were
publicly accepted. I am also sure that some time later the Karabakh
conflict will find its resolution. It has been de facto resolved so
many years, some legal issues will also be resolved, and that will be
our desire." Mr. Avagyan also mentioned that the most important thing
is that the person making the announcement and the person speaking
from the field desires, when talking about any norm, speak about all
norms that are adopted by the international community: the right to
self-determination of nations, peaceful negotiation process, non-use of
force, territorial integrity, which is not what Gul understands. Giro
Manoyan, the head of Armenian Cause Office, ARF Dashnaktsutiun, said,-
"We need to view the President Abdullah Gul's desire visiting Karabakh
and holding the summit of Turkic-speaking countries from the following
perspective: Gul wants the Turkic-speaking countries would so reach
the maturity, and would have good relations with all its neighbors
along with other neighbors, and would start holding the summit of
Turkic-speaking countries in other countries, and, as such, could
also visit NKR and hold a summit there.
Otherwise, if he means other than this, Gul's statement is
ridiculous." To the question whether it is a threat that Gul is
stating that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be resolved in the
shortest possible time, Mr. Manoyan replied,- "This should be viewed
as a desire. He was in Azerbaijan, he has felt a certain obligation
to the guests of Azerbaijan and has said. Official Yerevan has given
the answer to it. Turkey has one thing to do in Karabakh conflict,
and it is not interfering, the rest is purely harming." As for Gul's
desire visiting NK, Giro Manoyan said,- "If he wants to go, let him go,
then NKR authorities should accept him, I think that Gul's airplane
would directly land on Stepanakert airport, thus Gul would solve two
issues at a time."
