16/10/2009

Yesterday the Russian “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” newspaper by referring to its sources wrote why the signing of the Turkey-Armenia protocols on October 10 was delayed for 3.5 hours. “The reporters that were following the process heard rumors that the Armenian side was against the mentioning of Nagorno-Karabakh in the speech of the Turkish minister. According to our sources, as a matter of fact Edward Nalbandyan insisted that his Turkish counterpart should take out from his speech the words that in Turkey a special working group will be in charge of the genocide issue,” writes the paper. Let us mention that the “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” is the main pro-government newspaper.
