Russia is playing a dangerous role both in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and in the Armenian-Turkish relations, Vahan Hovhannisyan, the Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), told a press conference.

He stressed that he does not at all believe the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen, as they often made contradictory statements. According to him, the mediators are trying to impose as many concessions on Nagorno-Karabakh as possible on Armenia to facilitate the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols by the Turkish Parliament. Hovhannisyan is sure Turkey will not ratify the protocols until it gets the desired results in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
