YEREVAN, JANUARY 21, NOYAN TAPAN. The pivotal issue discussed at the
January 21 meeting of RA NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamian and European
Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby was
the process of normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations without
preconditions. According to the RA NA Press Service, H. Abrahamian
expressed the hope that Turkey will stay loyal to the letter and
spirit of the protocols signed on October 10 2009 in Zurich.
At P. Semneby’s request the NA Speaker presented the process of
ratification of the protocols in Armenia, which, in his words,
proceeds according to the schedule and without inappropriate delays.
H. Abrahamian emphasized that the Turkish side should pursue
ratification and fulfillment of the protocols and not undertake
measures aimed at failing the process. He said that otherwise the
Armenian side is ready to undertake adequate measures.
