“European politicians link the Armenian-Turkish relations with the solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict,” — leader of the opposition Heritage faction of Armenian parliament Stepan Safaryan said after his meetings with EU officials in Brussels and Strasbourg.
He said Europe welcomes Turkey as a sunrise of the region and OSCE Minsk Group
Safaryan said there was no single attitude to the Armenian-Turkish relations and called the protocols a deadlock for Armenia.
“Turkey aims to achieve solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict until April, 2010 and to prevent recognition of „Armenian genocide“ by the U. S. Congress. The second minimal goal is the making Turkey the regional leader,” — he said.
“For that reason, Turkey will delay ratification of the protocols. Ankara is trying to solve the Karabakh conflict in line with interests of Azerbaijan using its diplomatic opportunities,” — the Armenian MP said.
