"I don’t want to put the entire blame on the present leadership:
Madrid Principles emerged from Kocharian and Oskanyan’s efforts. They
declared all this," ex-foreign minister of the Republic of Armenia
Vahan Papazyan stated during his meeting today.
He spoke on the presigned Armenian-Turkish Protocols, emphasizing that
"Nagorno-Karabakh issue proceeds parallel" to the establishment of
Armenian-Turkish relations issue in these documents, and that who is
to blame is the leadership which came to power after 1998.
According to Papazyan, Nagorno-Karabakh issue has always been present
in the establishment issue of Armenian-Turkish relations, and in the
present documents Nagorno-Karabakh is directly present.
Papazyan stated Armenian-Turkish Protocols will come into force
only if there is certain progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue,
and by certain progress, he means withdrawing Armenian troops from
5 regions of Karabakh.
