Armenian National Congress has issued a statement in relation to
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s decision over suspending the
ratification process of the Armenia-Turkey Protocol.

"Despite the pronounced objectives the Armenia-Turkey reconciliation
turned into an Armenia-Turkey confrontation process. Taking advantage
of the current regime’s inability Turkey consistently continued linking
the ratification of the Protocols and the opening of the border to
the settlement of the Karabakh conflict," reads the statement.

It also says the result of this process was that not only the
international pressure did not decrease, but on the contrary, it
grew stronger and to such a degree that Armenia, for the first time
in its modern history, agreed to limit Karabakh’s self-determination
right within Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity (OSCE statement made
in Athens).

"Linking the Armenia-Turkey normalization and Karabakh settlement
to each other Turkey also succeeded in assuming an essential role,
though a dangerous one for Armenia, in the international talks over
the Nagorno Karabakh: the optimal format – OSCE Minsk Group – of
these talks were put at risk," reads the statement.

Further it says that President Serzh Sargsyan, entangled in the
spiders’ web of his own initiative-taking policy, is no more capable
of neutralizing the damages of his own policy.
