The political majority of the Armenian National Assembly rates as
unacceptable the latest statements by Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, who keeps linking ratification of Armenian-Turkish
Protocols to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The joint statement issued by political councils of the coalition
parties reads: "Turkey’s unwillingness to ratify the Protocols without
preconditions and within reasonable terms makes continuation of the
ratification process in RA NA senseless. We consider it necessary to
dampen the process and to remove the issue from the agenda until the
Turkish side agrees to continue the dialogue without preconditions."
