’We already have negative tendencies in the Karabakh issue.’
Out is about ten possible options of Armenian-Turkish process development the one chosen by the Armenian authorities is the worst, ex-foreign minister of Armenia Vartan Oskanyan said in an interview with “Yerkir media” TV channel.
He thinks that in the created situation it would be more correct not to take anything, as in that case pressure would be imposed upon Turkey. ’But to choose an option which is practically equal to having done nothing, but at the same time it was officially announced about freezing of the process, means that at present Turkey was given a free hand’, - Oskanyan said and added that over the past 18 months Armenia did not manage to fulfill the tasks put against it, but Turkey managed to reach implementation of the two out of the three pre-conditions put forward and is working for implementation of the third one. ’Having reached nothing, we gave Turkey what it wanted: the tension in the relations between Armenia and Diaspora appeared and the society of the country has been separated in this matter.
Moreover, I think we already have negative tendencies in the Karabakh issue. There is a document on the negotiating table which is not beneficial to us. It is for the first time that Azerbaijan says it does not accept the content of this document. The main reason of all this is the Armenian-Turkish dialogue and involvement of Turkey in this (Karabakh) process’, - Oskanyan said.
At the same time Oskanyan is sure that the criteria and imagination of the world community about the Karabakh conflict and the Armenian-Turkish process are not in line with the interests of Armenia. ’For this reason, this is a very dangerous tendency when the authorities present the world community welcoming the policy conducted by us. This will lead us to nothing good’, - Oskanyan concluded.
