RA MFA: Comments on precondition in the Protocols of minor character

October 30, 2009 - 12:51 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Protocols of normalization of the bilateral relations signed between Yerevan and Ankara is the main statement on normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, all other comments or statements about preconditions are secondary, Armenia's foreign minister Edward Nalbandian told a joint press conference in Yerevan attended by the foreign minister of Belarus Sergei Martynov.



Armenia and Turkey signed the Protocols without preconditions, and not only official Yerevan argues that, Edward Nalbandian said.



"The United States, Russia and the EU stated that the Protocols are not linked and can not be linked to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement," the minister said.



According to him, the absence of such a relationship was confirmed by the co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group.



"The whole international community adheres to such position," minister emphasized. Speaking about the timing of ratification of the Protocols, Edward Nalbandian mentioned that Armenia and Turkey pledged to ratify the Protocols as soon as possible.
