Armenian-Turkish process dead: Heritage party

13:39 / 04/09/2010Unfortunately, official Yerevan cannot make a
political decision on withdrawal from Armenian-Turkish process,
Heritage faction leader Stepan Safaryan said in RA National Assembly
briefing commenting on forthcoming Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting in
Washington.

`Nothing is unexpected. Official Yerevan unfortunately cannot make a
political decision on walking out of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation
process. However, no matter what they say of initiative policy,
withdrawal from it might negatively affect both parties,’ Safaryan
noted.

According to him, on the threshold of Washington meeting Armenian
diplomacy is weak. `Turkey will take advantage of this meeting as a
proof of dialogue continuation. Ankara keeps on buying time and
showing the world that process goes ahead, whereas actually it is
dead,’ MP concluded.
