Hayk Demoyan: Protocols contain no precondition on NKR issue
Ankara has to be more interested in Protocols' confirmation of self determination right than Armenia does, Genocide Museum Director Hayk Demoyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Protocols are criticized by many who assert the documents stipulate for territorial integrity principle and leave out the nation's self determination right. This is seen as a precondition for NKR conflict settlement issue. Still, I believe, Protocols contain no preconditions on NKR issue," Hayk Demoyan noted, adding that the documents could pose danger to Armenia, should they clearly stipulate for Armenia's acknowledging Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

He reminded that Cyprus issue is Turkey's crucial problem, with Turkish diplomacy taking every effort for Cyprus Turks' self determination rights acknowledgement.
