  • No progress in Armenian-Turkish, Nagorno-Karabakh processes next

    No progress in Armenian-Turkish, Nagorno-Karabakh processes next year,
    expert says

    11:54 / 01/02/2010Turkey will try to put off the ratification of the
    Armenian-Turkish protocols until next April and even until a later
    date to have the international community discuss the Armenian Genocide
    as long as possible and to link the ratification to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, the political analyst Alexander
    Manasyan told NEWS.am.

    As regards the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the expert does not forecast
    any progress. `The sides will try to protract the process as long as
    possible,' Manasyan said. He stressed that the Armenian side should
    try to change its image in the negotiation process next year. `The
    present image does not meet our interests. We do not respond to the
    misstatements on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict frequently made by the
    international community. We do not present our convincing arguments
    concerning the problem. But we must clearly state that Azerbaijan has
    no legal or historical rights to Nagorno-Karabakh or to Nakhichevan.
    Also, we must raise the issue of Armenian massacres in Baku and
    Sumgait, Azerbaijan,' the expert said. Manasyan also holds the opinion
    that official Yerevan may pull out of the Armenian-Turkish dialogue
    should Ankara try to put off the ratification of the protocols or link
    them to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
