The outgoing year gave little chance for optimism, member of the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun said.
“The economic slump deepened, resulting in greater poverty and
emigration,” Artyusha Shahbazyan told a news conference on December 24.
“The Armenia-Turkey normalization process has become a hostage to
Ankara’s whim. Turkey still sets the Karabakh conflict resolution
as a precondition for normalization of relations with Armenia. One
should be a blind optimism not to notice this,” he said.
