    ALEXANDER ARZUMANYAN: THE ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS AND THE KARABAKH ISSUE ARE INTERCONNECTED

    Representative of the Armenian National Congress, ex-Foreign Minister
    Alexander Arzumanyan considers that the initiatives targeted at the
    normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations will accelerate the
    process of settlement of the Karabakh issue. "The two processes are
    interconnected, and ensuring the settlement of the one at the expense
    of the other is unacceptable," the ex-Foreign Minister said.

    Alexander Arzumanyan said the necessity of ratification of the
    protocols in not understandable, either. "The ratification of protocols
    on the establishment of diplomatic relations is not a common practice
    in international relations," Alexander Arzumanyan noted.

    "Armenia has established diplomatic relations with about 140 countries.

    It has signed similar protocols with each country, neither of which
    has been ratified by the Parliament. My concern is that the format
    of ratification is not understandable and it provides an opportunity
    to delay the moment the protocols should come into force. That means
    holding the Armenian-Turkish relations as hostage, waiting for the
    Karabakh issue to be settled," Alexander Arzumanyan stated.
