/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Up to the very moment of RA-Turkish rapprochement
protocols’ conclusion, Lebanon Armenians believed Armenia will not
sign them, Lebanese MP, Beirut’s Armenian Community representative
Sepuh Kalpakyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. `Unfortunately, the
protocols have been signed and Armenian nation is now facing a crucial
moment. Our future is vague and we don’t know what to expect,’ he
said.

Sepuh Kalpakyan added that Lebanon Armenians do not believe RA
government’s assertion on Protocols’ containing no preconditions.
`We’re praying for our apprehensions to prove groundless, so Armenia
will not have to pay high price for normalization of ties with
Turkey.’ According to him, protocol signing was postponed as Armenia
had some last-minute apprehensions. Still, there were forces who acted
as guarantors for protocol signing. `We’ll continue with our
struggle. Protocols’ conclusion is not the end. There’s time left till
ratification and we’ll use every opportunity to prevent Protocols”
ratification,’ Sepuh Kalpakyan stated.
