He also reminded that in their statement, the OSCE MG Co-chairs stressed the necessity of soonest resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. "It's clear enough that these processes are conditioned by the wish to have the Armenian-Turkish border opened. It's not a secret either that the Armenian-Turkish talks are not directed by Turkey alone. The fact is that Washington creates Turkey's new image to push it into the EU," Mr. Hovhannisian said.
