    ACCORDING TO HRAYR KARAPETIAN, SIGNING OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH PROTOCOLS STRENGTHENED TURKS' POSITIONS

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The signing of the Armenian-Turkish
    protocols strengthened the positions of the Turks and gave them
    a possibility to go further in the respect of bringing forward
    preconditions. RA NA ARFD faction member Hrayr Karapetian expressed
    such an opinion at a November 2 press conference. According to him, the
    matters took such a turn that the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister took
    part in the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs' meeting. As to the Armenian
    Foreign Ministry, according to H. Karapetian, its policy in the issue
    of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations is too passive. "Our
    Foreign Minister classes any statement of the Turks as a statement of
    "internal consumption" and keeps silence, while Turkey should receive
    an adequate answer from Armenia," the ARFD figure mentioned.

    H. Karapetian mentioned that all structures and departments of
    Armenia are obliged to act in correspondence with RA National Security
    Strategy's provisions. And, according to him, those provisions exactly
    establish that Armenia's blockade by Turkey and Azerbaijan is use
    of force. In that respect, according to H. Karapetian, all norms of
    the international law give Armenia a right to raise a question on
    recognizing the mentioned two countries as aggressors.

    H. Karapetian also touched upon the bill placed on the agenda of
    the NA four-day session last week which proposes adopting a new law
    On Use of Transport Means for Defence Purpose. In his words, it is
    envisaged by the bill that state and self-government bodies should
    provide transport means to the army during peaceful and martial
    law. According to H. Karapetian, that practice also existed in the
    past and now the NA should just regulate it by the law.
