/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Protocols submitted on August 31 were prepared back
in March. They served as a source for Basic Principles publicized
on April 23, said Hovhannes Igityan , board member of Pan-Armenian
National Movement and former Head of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs
Committee. The original version of a document which has full
legal effect is available in two copies. The initial variant,
according to speaker, was written in English and then translated
into Armenian and Turkish. "Normalization of Armenian-Turkish is
a process dictated from abroad. The document was elaborated by US
State Department. Armenian-Turkish rapprochement and Karabakh conflict
settlement are dealt with by one and the same person," activist said,
stressing that the main threat of two documents consisted in their
interpretation.

Igityan also criticized the Protocol clauses on setting up historical
commission dealing with Armenian Genocide. According to him, the
issue bears no relationship to Armenian-Turkish border opening.
