Heritage party sees no progress in Nalbandian-Mammadyarov meeting in Athens
The optimistic statement adopted by Foreign Ministers of the MG OSCE Co-Chair countries was actually addressed to Turkey, Heritage parliamentary group leader Stepan Safaryan said.

According to him, the document was a response to Turkey's statements that protocols will be ratified only after some progress is registered in Karabakh conflict settlement. "This way, the Ministers assured Turkey of the progress expected in Karabakh talks," he told a news conference in Yerevan.

Assessing the ongoing Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process as dangerous, Safaryan said that the fate of the protocols depends of Azerbaijan-Turkey relations.

He stressed that Armenia will succeed in Karabakh talks only in case NKR is engaged.
