/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Either in Armenia or in the Armenian Diaspora
there is no single approach to the Protocols on normalization of
the Armenian-Turkish relations, Yeghia Jerejian, spokesman of the
Gnchak Social Democratic Party and a former member of the Lebanese
Parliament told a news conference in Yerevan today, responding to a
PanARMENIAN.Net question.

"Many people in Armenia and Diaspora are worried that these Protocols
will only harm our interests. Such concerns are explained by the
mistrust towards the current leadership of Armenia ", Hnchak member
said.

"One thing is clear for us: we are against the signing of these
Protocols, if they imply concessions by the Armenian part in terms of
the recognition of Armenian Genocide, the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict. Besides, we are not ready to renounce territorial claims
against Turkey," Yeghia Jerejian said.

He added that after Serzh Sargsyan clarifies some issues of
Armenian-Turkish relations at the forthcoming meeting with the Armenian
community of Lebanon, they will present their concerns.
