FM: Turkey shouldn’t get involved in Karabakh settlement

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey unilaterally supports Azerbaijan, Armenian Foreign Minister said.

“Turkey can’t assume the role of a mediator in Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. It should not get involved in the process if it seeks to contribute to the peaceful resolution of the conflict,” Edward Nalbandiansaid in interview with Austrian Press Agency, commenting on Turkey’s role in the region and its biased position on Karabakh issue.

Minister Nalbandian further noted Azerbaijan’s destructive policy behind failure to achieve conflict resolution.

“Baku deems use of force a possible option, however, war is no solution to the problem. There is no alternative to the negotiation process,” he said.

As Minister Nalbandian said, Turkey refused to ratify and implement the protocols signed in Zurich.

“Turkey denies pacta sund servanta principle of international relations. Armenia’s position is in line with that of the international community. Ankara must show respect for the agreements reached, ratifying and implementing the protocols without preconditions,” Minister Nalbandian said.
