The region is facing new developments which can lead to a change in the balance of forces, a Heritage party member said.

“The international community increases pressure for resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict because Turkey demands progress in talks in exchange for ratifying the Protocols on normalization of relations with Armenia,” Stepan Safaryan said during a joint news conference with RPA’s Karen Avagyan.

Mr. Avagyan said for his part that progress is observed in Karabakh talks, since NKR’s re-engagement in the process is being discussed. “The fact that Ankara doesn’t link the Karabakh problem to Armenian-Turkish reconciliation can be eyed as progress,” he added.

As to ratification of Protocols, Mr. Avagyan said Armenia will suspend the dialogue if Turkey doesn’t ratify them till April 24.
