MFA: Armenia never negotiated Karabakh with Turkey![]() June 25, 2011 - 10:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia has never negotiated the Nagorno Karabakh issue with Turkey, spokesman for the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. “Consequently, there was no agreement on return of five, three or even one region,” Tigran Balayan said when commenting on PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu’s statement, according to which Yerevan and Ankara “reached agreement on return of five of three” liberated territories of Karabakh. “Similar statements are just a manipulation,” Balayan said, reminding of assertions that Cavusoglu allegedly did not want restoration of the ad hoc subcommittee on Karabakh. Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
