Karabakh conflict solution is not possible without establishing relations with Turkey, Novosti-Armenia quoted Raffi Ovannisyan, chairman of "Heritage" opposition party and ex-minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia in his Friday interview to journalists in Yerevan. "I am sure Nagorno Karabakh conflict regulation and establishing of ties between Armenia and Turkey have synchronous character and they are closely interrelated", - he said.

As per Ovannisyan , Turkey and Azerbaijan have very close ties to exclude Ankara 's influence to official Baku 's opinion and position in connection with the regulating process.

"I hope Armenia and Turkey will establish relations as Turkey's blockade on Armenia is unbeneficial firstly to Turkey itself that is striving to European Union with a considerable "luggage" of problems with its neighbors", - said Ovannisyan.

" Turkeys membership also benefits Armenia as Turkey is not able to enter European family without regulating problems with its neighbors as well as its historical problems", - summarized "Heritage" party leader.
