Safarian: President’s message doesn’t make great sense

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s message to his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul won’t make great sense for the international communities, as it’s rather sent for internal affairs, said at the press conference leader of the Heritage Party of Armenia Stepan Safarian.

He pointed that without any statements and messages it’s clear that Armenia doesn’t protest against Armenia-Turkey relations.

“Via this message, President Serzh Sargsyan is trying to sign over that he hasn’t got any problems in terms of normalisation of relations with Turkey; he is interested in reconciliation and is moving forward, while Turkey has lots of internal and external problems,” said Stepan Safarian.

When asked by Aysor’s correspondent if there are any links between Armenian President’s visit to Great Britain and message to Abdullah Gul, Stepan Safarian said that the UK had been carrying serious activity in the region over past years. So, it’s impossible to ignore its role.

“Armenian side, meanwhile, is trying to gain from Turkey’s position of caprices, sensibilities and so on.’

According to politician, up to the moment Turkey hasn’t yet deployed military troops in Afghanistan, which is the important goal of the UK and US. “Taking into account all these, Armenian side is just trying to suppress Turkey.”
