Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s meetings in Washington were
important and successful, told journalists turkologist Hakob Chakrian.

He pointed that in contrary, Turkish Prime Minister’s positions at the
nuclear summit were unsuccessful so far as Turkish side’s two issues —
to force Armenia to make concessions in the process of international
recognition of the 1915 Genocide and in the process of settlement to
the Karabakh conflict — failed.

"Armenia’s President has openly told Erdogan that Armenia won’t
accept preconditions, related to issue of Karabakh in the name of
Armenia-Turkey relations," said Hakob Chakrian pointing that now
Turkey must take steps.

Chakrian also referred to the process of ratification for protocols:
"The protocols can be ratified by Armenia first," he said. "However,
if even so, then it wouldn’t be a wrong step; in this case Turkey
will become responsible for the process," he added.
