YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The Declaration on Nagorno Karabakh
settlement signed by the Presidents of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan
on November 2 in Moscow does not imply any considerable changes. ARFD
Bureau member Aghvan Vardanian expressed such an opinion at the
November 14 press conference.
Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish relations, he said that the latest
explanations of the RA President and Foreign Minister gave answers to
the questions ARFD is concerned with. That is, no Armenian official
will make the issue of Armenian Genocide a subject of discussion
and hinder the process of recognition of the Genocide. And Turkey,
according to A. Vardanian, on the background of every important
international event tries to push forward its interests and to become
an important player. However, one thing is clear: Turkey cannot
be a mediator in the issue of Nagorno Karabakh settlement, and its
assistance in that issue can be only its influencing Azerbaijan.
In A. Vardanian's opinion, the presidential elections in the United
States brought some changes in the whole world, a necessity to look at
the world in a different way, to show other approaches emerged. "It
is too important here that Armenia be able to work rightly with all
power centers of the world," A. Vardanian said. In that respect the
ARFD Bureau member advises "not to look for traitors among us, but
to try to go into the details of the problems faced by the country
and to find such solutions that will guarantee safe and secure future
for Armenia and NKR."
