/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Protocols of normalization of Armenia-Turkey
relations are based on the concept of "constructive ambiguity" and
each side can interpret them in favor of own interests, the statement
of the Assembly of Turkish American Association (ATAA) says.

"ATAA believes that the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations is the only opportunity for both countries to move
forward. We welcome the desire embedded in the Protocols to develop
good neighborly relations between Armenia and Turkey aimed to resolve
all issues in an integrated manner, "n the statement of the Assembly
says.

The Association believes that the provision of territorial integrity
is important for the Turks of the U.S., because "the Constitution
of Armenia and the Armenian politicians wrongly raise territorial
claims against Turkey. In respect to the historical commission,
ATAA believes that "only through the diligent study of history the
reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey can be achieved."
