"In his message to his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan wanted to make Turkey understand that
their turn to act," Leader of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
-Dashnaktsutyun Vahan hovhannisyan, told a press conference today.

Serzh Sargsyan warns Abdullah Gul against the deadlock in
Armenian-Turkish reconciliation.

"All those who believed that the Protocols carry no preconditions
started acting as soon as the Constitutional Court found the documents
conformable with the Constitution. The anger of the Armenian side is
justified as the country has been deluded while Turkey is annoyed as
its hopes are frustrated," said Mr. Hovhannisyan.

The ARF leader thinks that the CC decision makes Armenia be most
cautious and deny the protocols by annulling them.

But if the National Assembly decides to ratify the protocols, it
should be done with reservations set in the CC decision.

Mr. Hovhannisyan also spoke of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s
recent bellicose statements.

"Aliyev’s words forced the country’s youth to escape to Russia and
Ukraine. Azerbaijan is a multi-national country and I don’t think that
the nationalities living in the country are going to send their sons
to die in Karabakh. Armenia has other reasons. We know that they are
going to slaughter us and we shall fight to our last breath."
