/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian -Turkish ties normalization process in
paused. The pause will last till some progress is registered in NKR
conflict settlement, Heritage Faction representative, RA MP Stepan
Safaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.

"We can hardly expect a progress in Armenian-Turkish negotiations
unless Armenian and Azeri Presidents reach an agreement over NKR
conflict at today’s Prague meeting," RA MP noted, adding that one
of preconditions set by Turkey has turned into a verbal condition on
Armenian-Turkish negotiations agenda.

"Still, Turkey is not so thoughtless as to sign a document containing
any mention of NKR issue. At present the country has enough conflicts
and does not need additional written commitments. Nevertheless,
Turkey managed to start parallel Armenian-Turkish and NKR talks,"
the MP emphasized.

In view of recent developments Heritage representative considers it
dangerous for RA President to sign any documents on NKR conflict. "RA
authorities have serious issues in trying to adequately estimate the
situation. The Official Yerevan has made rude mistakes in RA foreign
policy," the MP emphasized.
