"Present-day Armenian government bears no responsibility for negotiations conducted by its predecessors," "Heritage" faction MP Stepan Safaryan told today a seminar on "Armenian-Turkish relations: present and past". The speaker positively estimated Azeri President Ilham Aliyev's statement that NKR settlement talks conducted by his predecessor Heydar Aliyev bear no relationship to him.

"Armenia still has time to refuse conducting talks over Madrid Principles," Safaryan said.
