Turkey needed the process, not the result, representative of the
Armenian National Congress David Shahnazaryan told a press conference
today. The current stage of the Armenian-Turkish process resembles a
situation, where it is impossible to win, but equally impossible to
withdraw from the game, he said.

David Shahnzaryan does not share the opinion that the Turkish Prime
Minister’s recent remarks about the deportation of 100 000 Armenians
were emotional or unbalanced.

"It has become obvious for Turkey that Armenia is going to ratify the
protocols first. This would be a serious blow to Turkey in the current
situation. It’s clear to me that Erdogan’s statement pursued one aim:
to prevent the Armenian Parliament from ratifying the protocols first,"
David Shahnzaryan said.
