Famous Turkish writer and reporter Mehmet Ali Birand published a story
in Hurriyet web site referring to recent regional developments. The
reporter wrote it sure that if Ankara doesn’t make any statement
Armenia will decline the protocols.
"The protocols are of great significance. I think, they are the only
way out of Genocide tortuous. But it didn’t happen or couldn’t.
Somebody spoiled the game. Either we’re cheated or we’ve done wrong,"
Birand writes.
Birand writes that official Yerevan got deeply concerned when
Turkey broke the rules and linked the NKR conflict resolution with
ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols.
"Prime Minister Erdogan hurried to Baku and under Aliyev’s threatening
eyes declared at Mejlis that Karabakh conflict resolution is linked
with ratification of protocols. To conclude the protocols have been
directly linked with Armenian-Azerbaijani ties. This authorized
Azerbaijan to put veto on Armenian-Turkish ties," expert writes.
What is the conclusion to this article? Birand writes that official
Yerevan waits for some statement from Turkey. Will the protocols come
into force without any preconditions or will linking with Karabakh
issue continue?
