PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's involvement in the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement process is unacceptable, head of the central
information department at the office of NKR President said.
Commenting to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter on OSCE Secretary General
Lamberto Zannier's statement regarding Turkey's involvement in
Karabakh talks, David Babayan noted, "OSCE representatives' statements
run counter to the core doctrine of Karabakh problem, which should be
settled in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group."
According to Zannier, Turkey's involvement needs not be an official
one. "I am not talking about a formal role in the negotiations, but in
real terms. Turkey is bordering both countries involved in the
conflict. It is an important actor in the region and it has a
political contribution to offer," he said.
"Turkey's pro-Azerbaijani position rules out its involvement in
Karabakh process," Babayan stated in response to Zanier's statement,
adding that Ankara's engagement in the process will bring no tangible
results.
Dwelling on whether the Armenian side should somehow react to
Zannier's statement, Babayan noted that only expert-level reaction to
the issue should be expected.
