No progress in Armenian-Turkish, Nagorno-Karabakh processes next year, expert says11:54 / 01/02/2010
Turkey will try to put off the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols until next April and even until a later date to have the international community discuss the Armenian Genocide as long as possible and to link the ratification to the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, the political analyst Alexander Manasyan told NEWS.am.
As regards the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the expert does not forecast any progress. “The sides will try to protract the process as long as possible,” Manasyan said. He stressed that the Armenian side should try to change its image in the negotiation process next year.
“The present image does not meet our interests. We do not respond to the misstatements on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict frequently made by the international community.
We do not present our convincing arguments concerning the problem. But we must clearly state that Azerbaijan has no legal or historical rights to Nagorno-Karabakh or to Nakhichevan. Also, we must raise the issue of Armenian massacres in Baku and Sumgait, Azerbaijan,” the expert said. Manasyan also holds the opinion that official Yerevan may pull out of the Armenian-Turkish dialogue should Ankara try to put off the ratification of the protocols or link them to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
