Turkey has four positions on the issue: Prosperous Armenia

14:03 / 09/19/2009Turkey should explain why it has four different
positions on Armenia-Turkey relations’ normalization, Naira Zohrabyan,
Prosperous Armenia Party MP told NEWS.am, commenting on Nalbandyan’s
statement, that `Attempting to link Armenian-Turkish and Karabakhi
processes, Turkey might fail both’.

`It is absolutely clear that currently Protocols do not contain any
preconditions and they should not say so at any stage, including
signing. If Turkish Government representatives pursue their policy of
four positions, that is: 1) for international community; 2) for talks
with Armenia; 3) for Turkish society and 4) for Azerbaijan, then it is
Turkish authorities’ problem. They have to explain why there are
several viewpoints on one matter,’ Zohrabyan said.

According to MP, relations’ normalization is equally advantageous both
for Armenia and Turkey. Asked whether Serzh Sargsyan will go to Turkey
October 14 if the border is not open, Zohrabyan replied: `It is not a
good start. Not everything should be turned into practicality. I
consider crucial RA President’s statement that he would go to hear out
Diaspora’s opnion.’
