Armenian Genocide and Karabakh conflict must not be tied with each otherJanuary 30, 2007 - 16:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - For the European Union the Armenian Genocide issue is one more cause of refusing Turkey's EU bid, stated NKR President's Aide for Foreign Policy Arman Melikian to a press conference in Yerevan. In his words, the European Union also says that the Armenian-Turkish relations must activate. "If European countries finally turn back from Turkey, it will turn to Russia, as it already happened during history. If we hypothetically suppose that Russia, Turkey and Armenia, and probably Iran too, come to a certain agreement on the solution of conflicts in the region, the EU will have big problems with energy resources. Of course, it's theoretically, but in policy everything is possible and it is a possible scenario," Melikian said, one more time underlining that it is a purely theoretical supposition. Alongside he stressed third countries can use the Armenian Genocide issue, as well as the Nagorno Karabakh settlement. "These two issues for some reasons are being tied with each other, which Turkey does, but they are quite different things. The fact of the 1915 Genocide for Armenians is truth, which is not subject to discussions. Equally is NKR's right to independence," said the NKR President's Aid.
