Editor-in-chief of the Azg daily Hakob Avetikyan characterized the
current Armenian-Turkish process as a "tangle." Avetikyan said he
was not "very optimistic" about the perspectives of normalization of
relations between the two countries. As for the ratification of the
protocols, he outlines two possible scenarios.
"I see two scenarios. According to the first one, Turkey does not
change its position and fails to ratify the protocols, as a result
of which the tension in the region grows, the Armenian-Azerbaijani
relations and the Karabakh issue further aggravate. In the second
scenario Turkey ratifies the protocols, but with reservations
unacceptable to the Armenian side. In other words, Turkey may ratify
the protocols for Armenia to deny them," Hakob Avetikyan told a press
conference today.
