/PanARMENIAN.Net/ " ‘Heritage’ party always attaches great importance
to Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, but disagrees with certain points
enshrined in recently signed Armenian-Turkish protocols," ‘Heritage’
faction MP Armen Martirosyan told today a news conference.
According to him, the party is concerned that authorities decided
to promulgate the protocols after facing international community’s
demand to disclose their contents to public. "Such method of work
first of all harms the reliability of the process," MP stated.
Speaking about the protocols, the speaker found them unacceptable,
since they reflect Turkish side’s claims imposed on Armenia
since 1991. By signing the protocols, Armenia will ratify Turkish
bolsheviks’ agreements, thus striking irrevocable blow to Armenian
people’s interests and putting up with Turkey’s unilateral position
on Armenian Genocide, Martirosyan said.
The MP also stressed that ratification of such protocols may
irrevocably impact Karabakh process as well, as Turkey will thus
obtain the right to "voice its opinion on occupation of Azerbaijani
lands within the scope of territorial integrity principle". Besides,
such ratification may deprive Armenia of the right to its historical,
Turkish-occupied lands, the speaker stressed.
