All hopes that Turkey became a civilized country and changed, turned
into thin air. Turkish PM’s London statement was response to those who
were ready to fly into arms of Turkey," ARFD faction member Artsvik
Minasyan told journalists March 22.

According to him, we will be strong if unite for the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide. "Armenia should first walk out from Armenia-Turkey
normalization process and presently Turkey opened doors for it. The
sooner we do it, the faster we will restore our solidarity and maintain
dignity," Minasyan assured.

Asked why U.S. and Russia keep silence on Turkish Premier’s London
statement, Minasyan replied that the statement was unexpected even
to them, however, firstly Armenian diplomacy should voice that the
Genocide policy which was an official policy in the beginning of last
century is underway and remains unchanged.

"Initiative diplomacy completely failed, and if Armenian authorities
still seek to make Turkey ratify the Protocols, it means they did
not draw a moral or grow wiser," he concluded.
