/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recently signed Protocols on normalization of
Armenian-Turkish ties are real documents, Stepan Grigoryan, Head of
Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation, told a
news conference in Yerevan. "Opposition and experts stress time and
again that Protocols containing a clause on territorial integrity
do not say anything on a nation’s right to self-determination. It
is necessary to realize that the given Protocols are bilateral
documents, and it does not simply make sense to raise a question on
self-determination principle," political scientist said.

Touching upon mutual recognition of Armenian-Turkish border, Grigroryan
noted that Armenia, being a UN member, automatically agreed to respect
all UN member states’ territorial integrity.
