/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 2009 was a crucial year for Armenia’s foreign
policy, said Eduard Sharmazanov, secretary of Republican Party of
Armenia parliamentary group.

"Armenia acted as regional leader in 2009," he told reporters on
Monday.

Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish dialogue, Mr. Sharmazanov said
Turkey should be the first to ratify the protocols on normalization
of relations between the two countries. "The protocols should be
ratified within reasonable terms. I do not want to announce any date
but Turkey should take decision before April 24," said, adding that
the RA government will continue the policy calling for worldwide
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
