“Çavuşoglu said that we will soon appoint special representatives on a reciprocal basis. That is, it was agreed upon with each other. If our people decided to appoint an envoy after the announcement of Turkey, how did it happen that it became known on the same day that Ruben Rubinyan will be appointed envoy?” He referred to deputy speaker of the parliament Rubinyan’s explanation that after the Turkish side’s announcement, the Armenian side appointed him as an envoy.
According to Manukyan, in fact, that step was also planned in advance and behind the people. “How did it happen that the Turks were the ones to dictate during this period? Çavuşoglu says this or that, and our side responds. Until now, there is no document on Ruben Rubinyan being appointed envoy. He is not a representative of the state. The process is very disorganized. The first one comes to the Serdar Kilic-Rubinyan meeting in Moscow with a flag and a car, the second one does not. It is awkward because the English and Armenian versions of our Foreign Ministry’s message are different, and only after Armen Ashotyan’s post did the Foreign Ministry correct the text,” said Gegham Manukyan. According to the deputy, there should not have been such disorganization in the issue of RA-Turkey relations, which is considered a national issue.
