Protocols’ fate depends on US-Turkey talks, says Safrastian

Director of the Institute of the Oriental Studies of Armenia’s
National Academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastian says thinks U.S.
President Obama will probably use `genocide’-word in his annual
address to the Armenian people.

According to Ruben Safrastian, the U.S. Congress will probably fasten
down the vote over Genocide Resolution.

`The Armenia-Turkey protocols’ `fate’ depends on secret U.S.-Turkey
talks and dealing,’ said Safrastian pointing that the bargaining
between Turkey and the United States may fail, leading to fail in
process of ratification for protocols. `If this happens it would be
rather logical to Armenia to withdraw from negotiations with Turkey,’
he said.

`Turkey will try to make use of the Resolution 252, and approval of
the Genocide Resolution by Sweden’s Parliament to vote down
normalization of relations with Armenia,’ he added.
