ArmInfo. During the 32nd session of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary
Assembly in St.Petersbourg on May 14, Representative of Turkey
Chaushogly came out against Armenia at dictation of the Azerbaijani
delegation and blamed Armenia for occupying 30% of Azerbaijan, Armenian
MP from the Heritage oppositional faction Vardan Khachatryan, who
was a member of the Armenian delegation, told ArmInfo correspondent.
Khachatryan said that according to Chaushogly, it is impossible
to ensure the security of Europe without settling the conflict in
Azerbaijan's favor.
"Turkey and Azerbaijan came out as a single team. I was amazed at such
behavior of Turkish and Azeri representatives",- Khachatryan said. As
regards establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations, the MP stressed:
"It is senseless to say that during normalization of Armenian- Turkish
relations Turkey may disregard Azerbaijan's interests as Azerbaijan's
pressure on Turkey is resistless".
Khachatryan added that in such a case Armenia can do nothing but draw
the boundary on which the talks with Turkey should be suspended. "The
only achievement of Armenia over the recent period is the loss of
Armenian Diaspora's confidence",- stressed Khachatryan. "The change of
the Armenian Diaspora's position was obvious even during the Eurovision
song contest",- he said. Asked how the Armenian president's optimism
about the Armenian-Turkish relations is explained, Khachatryan said:
"Probably, the president knows what I am unaware of".
