MP Eduard Sharmazanov, Spokesman of the Armenian Republican Party (ARP) headed by Serzh Sargsyan, suggested Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan to offer advice to leadership of his own country rather than those of the neighboring one.

“If H.E. Ambassador thinks deeper and more impartially, moreover, perform his direct duties, he would realize it is better to counsel his own superiors, say on necessity to adhere to the agreements reached,” Sharmazanov declared.

Meanwhile, he mentioned that Turkish Ambassador to Baku is a specific diplomatic officer, that is conditioned by the current situation. Thus, his statements periodically go beyond the bounds of diplomatic ethics, not always and not really reflecting the official position of his country. Instead the pursued aim is to win the sympathy of the fellow-country [Azerbaijan] leadership.

Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic suggested Armenian President to arrive in Turkey by air for the football match, as “Armenia-Turkey border gate opening is connected with the Karabakh issue settlement.”
