    EDWARD SHARMAZANOV: THE ARMENIAN-TURKISH TALKS AND THE PROTOCOLS INCLUDE NO DANGER

    Press Secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia Edward Sharmazanov
    was assuring today that the Armenian-Turkish negotiations and the
    protocols were not dangerous.

    "We do not need opening of borders at any cost, we do not need
    establishment of diplomatic relations at any cost. We need opening
    of borders and establishment of diplomatic relations without
    preconditions. Any preconditions, including those connected with
    the Karabakh issue, are unacceptable to us. The Republic of Armenia
    will not allow any country, including Turkey, to speak with it in
    the language of ultimatums. The language of ultimatums is not the
    best option in diplomacy. We also could have set preconditions if we
    wished so," Sharmazanov said.

    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation adheres to a different
    opinion. After having studied the protocols, they have made a number
    of proposals, and they hope protocols will be ratified only after
    some changes are implemented.

    With regard to this, Edward Sharmazanov reminded the Armenian Foreign
    Minister's position.

    "The Foreign Minister has given a clear answer to Mr. Hiovhannisyan,
    the head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction. He has clearly stated
    that it's the Foreign Ministries, not Parliaments conducting the
    negotiations. The parties have reached an agr eement as a result of
    mutual concessions, and naturally, these very documents are going to
    be submitted for ratification," Edward Sharmazanov said.
