    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN. Receiving on September 11 the
    delegation headed by Special Commissioner of Greek Foreign Minister,
    Ambassador Nicholaos Kalantsianos, the speaker of the RA National
    Assembly Tigran Torosian expressed confidence that Greece to assume
    the OSCE chairmanship may help settle the regional problems and
    Armenia is ready to take part in this important process.

    N. Kalantsianos in his turn said that after Greece assumes the OSCE
    chairmanship in 2009, the organization will keep the developments
    in Georgia in the center of its attention and will do its best to
    overcome the crisis in cooperation with the EU and OSCE member states.

    NT was informed by the RA National Assembly PR Department that at the
    request of N. Kalantsianos, T. Torosian presented his opinions about
    solution of the Karabakh problem and the Armenian-Turkish relations. As
    regards the issue of resolving the Karabakh conflict, the NA speaker
    said that the fact that the conflict is viewed as one between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan (by ingnoring the NKR) is a miscomprehension, whereas
    the OSCE recognized Nagorno Karabakh as a conflict party and the
    ceasefire document was signed by the three parties. According to him,
    the only realsitic solution of the problem is to recognize the NKR
    people's right of self-determination.

    T. Torosian said that the Nagorno Karabakh problem is one of Turkey's
    preconditions for establishing relations with Armenia, while over 17
    years of its independence Armenia has never put forward a precondition
    for the establishment of relations. Referring to his contacts with
    the Turkish deputies in the PACE, the NA speaker noted that they have
    some complexes in their attitude to Armenia and the Armenians and the
    reason is apparently the genocide, recognition of which is necessary
    first of all for Turkey and the Turkish people in order to get rid
    of this complexes.
