Armenia has never negotiated the Nagorno Karabakh issue with Turkey, spokesman for the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

“Consequently, there was no agreement on return of five, three or even one region,” Tigran Balayan said when commenting on PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu’s statement, according to which Yerevan and Ankara “reached agreement on return of five of three” liberated territories of Karabakh.

“Similar statements are just a manipulation,” Balayan said, reminding of assertions that Cavusoglu allegedly did not want restoration of the ad hoc subcommittee on Karabakh.
