Some Turkish MPs and factions speak out the way they want to. The
Protocols did not contain any preconditions, otherwise they would
not be signed," Republican Party member Mkrtich Minasyan stated at
Oct. 22 interview with journalists commenting on Turkish FM Ahmet
Davutoglu’s statement.

Turkish diplomats make such statements for backrooms, Minasyan deems.

The Parliamentarian considers Protocols’ ratification by Armenia
first illogical, as Turkey is likely to make various statements and
preconditions, whereas Armenia will have to keep on refuting them
behindhand. "We do not confide in our neighbor, thus let Turkey beat
its head with our further actions. Thereupon we will make out mind
and take adequate steps," Minasyan said.

He also noted that if Turkish Parliament ratifies the documents
without any additional decisions and comments by either side, Armenian
Republican Party and coalition members will readily vote for Protocols’
ratification in RA National Assembly.
