Sharmazanov: Turkey’s attempts doomed to failure

Spokesman for RPA, Secretary of RPA parliamentary faction Eduard Sharmazanov told reporters on January 31 that the start of year 2011 was active in the aspect of Armenia-Turkey relations and Karabakh-Azerbaijan conflict.

“Cavusoglu managed to create a subcommittee at PACE, which, however, cannot play a role in the Nagorno Karabakh settlement since the Armenian side has repeatedly said that negotiations should proceed within OSCE Minsk Group only,” Sharmazanov said.

In his words, on the threshold of the elections Turkey tries to assume force and role by seeding nationalist moods but Turkey’s all attempts are doomed to failure.

“Our position on NKR is exact. Armenian President stressed it in his interview to the Ekho Moskvy Russian radio station. He reiterated that the only way of solving the problem is to hold a new referendum or to recognize the results of the 1991 referendum,” parliamentarian said.
