Mr. Nalbandyan sees nothing ambiguous in the disputed protocols.

"There is no mention about the Karabakh conflict, Armenian Genocide or the Kars Treaty. The protocols will serve as an anchorage cementing Armenian-Turkish relations," notes the Armenian FM.

"Regardless of numerous obstacles and announcements we were able to demonstrate political willpower, move ahead and reach an agreement. Today the whole world welcomes this step."

Edward Nalbandian refrained from commenting on the anouncemnents and assesments of Turkish and Azerbaijani diplomats on the protocols.

At the same time, the Armenian FM didn't exclude that the protocols might be voted down in the parliament of the two countries.

"Nothing is excluded," said the Minister.

Today Edward Nalbandian assured the presentees that he had never told a lie in his life. "Certainly, there are things that I cannot say openly but I never tell a lie."

"Do you have any information on the new appointment of Serzh Sargsyan's son-in-law Michael Minasyan? He is said to have been appointed ambassador after the resignation."

"I have no information," Edward Nalbandian said before A1+ could finish the question.
