If Turkey doesn’t ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols in the next
few weeks, European Armenian organizations will increase their efforts
in the fight for recognition of the Armenian Genocide, reads an open
letter dated February 5 to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
sent by Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) President
Ashot Grigorian.

"What is more, the FAAE will review its position on Turkey’s accession
to the EU and will take a firm decision against it," writes Grigorian
from Bratislava.

Continuing, Grigorian, on behalf of FAAE, adds, "Whilst we are aware
that an open border is much more favourable to Turkey than it is to
Armenia, we nonetheless welcome the steps taken by the presidents of
the two neighbouring countries and we ask of you not to impair but
to aid the process."
