The chairman of "Heritage" Party Stepan Safaryan talked to Panorama.am
about the coalition statement to suspend the ratification of
Armenian-Turkish protocols, claiming that he has been stating earlier
the process is very dangerous and tricky for Armenia. And now the
deputy said time proved his observations were right.

"At Washington visit, Armenian side declared about the reinforcement
of our conclusions instead of reinforcement of our dispositions in
the negotiations. Hence, this is objectively done, and we expected
Armenian authorities would acknowledge it earlier," NA deputy said
adding that Armenian authorities have left the only path to their
Turkish counterparts.

But still S. Safaryan says he has more expectations from our
authorities to suspend the signature putting complete abortion to
the Armenian-Turkish protocols.

It’s worth reminding that political coalition of Armenia released a
statement today which reads: "…Taking into consideration the refusal
of the Turkish side from its commitment to ratify the protocols
without preconditions and within a reasonable timeframe makes the
continuation of the process over their ratification in the Armenian
National Assembly pointless at this stage, the coalition considers it
proper to suspend the process and withdraw the issue from the agenda
of the four-day sittings until the Turkish side is ready to continue
the process without preconditions."
