"Head of foreign ministry has to say that Yerevan’s officials are
normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations with Ankara upon condition
of recognition the Armenian Genocide by Turkey and international
community," Agvan Vardanyan, a member of Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnakcutyun said at today’s conference.
According to him, if Armenia’s FM does not make such a step, it may
only mean that there is any precondition in the Armenian-Turkish
negotiations.
"The reopened Armenian-Turkish ties of last year proofed that the
recognition of Armenian Genocide was stopped,’ he said.
Returning to the issue of published in August, 31, the two protocols
Swiss-participated between Turkey and Armenia, A.Vardanyan concerned
over the absence of paragraph according to which Armenian-Turkish
negotiations should be conducted without preconditions.
ARFD’s member told the party had prepared its own version of joint
Armenian-Turkish agreement which would be published.
As for the ratification of protocols by Armenia’s Parliament,
according to A.Vardanyan ARFD will vote against it if their proposals
are not accepted.
Politician said he was sure that "Dashnakcutyun" would be supported
in Parliament not only by members of "Heritage" but by members of
authorities as well.
Even though ARFD doesn’t manage to defeat the ratification, the
party will go on working in National Assembly following the new
tactics. ARFD’s representative didn’t tell anything about the new
tactics, "times will show," he said.
