According to him, Turkey was trying its best to provide OSCE Co-Chairs' presence at protocol signing ceremony in an attempt to link RA-Turkish rapprochement with NKR conflict settlement. Yet, Armenia and Switzerland prevented this from happening, expressing their categorical protest. "Both Turkey and OSCE Co-Chairs seek to use RA-Turkish rapprochement for NKR conflict settlement," Giragosian noted.He also commented upon Russia's passive attitude during Protocol signing ceremony, noting that it might be explained by improvement in Russia-Azerbaijan relations. Addressing NKR conflict settlement issue, Giragosian stressed that Azerbaijan has no sense of reality and does not understand Karabakh will never be a part of it. Commenting on RA President's visit to Moscow, Giragosian said, "The President himself is unaware as to the purpose of his visit".
