    TURKEY REJECTS KEY PRECEPT IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS - ARMENIAN FM

    February 27, 2013 | 20:41

    Turkey unilaterally supports Azerbaijan and, naturally, it cannot
    play a mediating role in this process, Armenian Foreign Minister
    Edward Nalbandian stated Wednesday in an exclusive interview with
    the Austrian News Agency.

    "If Turkey really wants to contribute to the peaceful settlement
    [of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict], it would be good that it does
    not mettle in this process at all. Azerbaijan's deconstructive and
    denialist policy is the reason why it has not been possible to reach
    a settlement to this day," Nalbandian stressed.

    To the query as to the cause for the failure in the Armenian-Turkish
    normalization process, Armenia's FM responded as follows:

    "We came to an agreement. The Armenian-Turkish protocols were
    signed, but the Turkish party refused to ratify and implement these
    agreements. In actual fact, Turkey rejects the key precept of pacta
    sunt servanda-"agreements must be kept"-in international relations."

    Reflecting on the issue of international recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide, Edward Nalbandian specifically said:

    "Genocides should be recognized, [and] condemned; their denial should
    not be tolerated; this is the way. This is a matter of respecting
    fundamental human rights and the international law. We hope that
    Austria, just like other countries of Europe and the world, likewise
    will recognize it [that is, the Armenian Genocide]."
