/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia-Turkey rapprochement protocols contain
provisions, disadvantageous to Armenia. Some of them were imposed
on both countries, member of Republican Party of Armenia, deputy
chairman of parliamentary commission for European integration, Manvel
Badeyan said.

"Time is not on our side, so the earlier we form a rapprochement model,
the more we’ll gain from it," the parliamentarian said.

He added that Armenia has the potential to counter possible pressures.

According to Mr. Badeyan, although the protocols do not stipulate
for Karabakh conflict settlement, the issue will be raised during
reconciliation talks.
