The latest initiative to normalize Armenia-Turkey ties is just a game
by Turkey to keep Armenia in the game, chief of ‘Ay Dat’ bureau and
Dashnaksutun party member Kiro Manoyan said.

He said the documents signed are not guarantees for real establishment
of diplomatic relations.

"The current initiative was triggered by an interview of President
Serzh Sargsyan with BBC in which he stated that Turkey does not respect
agreements and was put into practice on the eve of the planned visit of
Armenian President to watch football match between the two countries,"
Manoyan said.

He disagreed with the view that Turkey has taken this step to get
reciprocal concessions from Armenia on the Karabakh issue.

He said Ankara did not pursue this goal in this case.
