Arkady Ghukasyan, the ex-president of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) and RA Ambassador-at-Large, called RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian “weak and unprepared,” reported Appo Jabarian, Editor of the USA Armenian Life Magazine. According to him, Arkady Ghukasyan made the statement at a meeting on the Telethon-2009 in Los Angeles, November 3.

Speaking of the Armenian-Turkish protocols, Ghukasyan pointed out that the documents have numerous weak points, and he shares the Armenian Diaspora’s discontent. According to Ghukasyan, the Armenian authorities started a dialogue with the Diaspora over Armenian-Turkish rapprochement too late. “Serzh Sargsyan must have acted in the wrong way, but he is a sincere and patriotic person and shouldered great responsibility,” Ghukasyan said.

It is noteworthy that Arkady Ghukasyan was a member of the group that accompanied the Armenian leader during his pan-Armenian tour. If Mr. Jabarian’s report is true, it means that Arkady Ghukasyan, an official supposed to execute orders, particularly in the foreign-policy orders, actually pronounced against Armenia’s official policy.
