Yerevan skeptic about Turkey's participation in Karabakh process

YEREVAN. Oct 24 (Interfax) - Having Turkey join the Karabakh conflict settlement process is a "phantasmagoria," Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian said.

"As for Turkey, I think this is a Turkish phantasmagoria," he said in an interview with Interfax.

Asked about the proposals to change the current Karabakh mediation format, he said: "As regards changes to the format, there is no need for them."

Speaking of a possibility to continue normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations, the minister said that Yerevan has done its half of the way, and "the ball is now on the Turkish field," the Armenian foreign minister said. "Turkey must meet the obligations it assumed before the international community. That is what the heads of many states and international organization were and are stating. We fully share this point of view," Nalbandian said.

Full interview with the Armenian Foreign Minister will be posted on the www.interfax.ru website on Saturday.
