Davit Shahnazaryan: I do not think Clinton’s visit can help normalization of relations with TurkeyJuly 1, 2010 - 16:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The agenda of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to Armenia will include discussion on Armenian-Turkish relations and Nagorno Karabakh as well as the situation with human rights and democracy in the republic, said Davit Shahnazaryan, member of the Armenian National Congress. “I do not think that this visit can help normalization of relations with Turkey, as the latter has already earned its benefits from the process,” he told a news conference in Yerevan on July 1. “As to Karabakh talks, there will be no progress in the near future but they can develop to the detriment of the Armenian side. Breakthrough is possible only if the conflicting sides or superpowers reach an agreement, what is unreal under the circumstances,” he said. Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
