"That football diplomacy was generally planned with the aim to enable
United States and Turkey preserving their interallied relations,
so that that interallied relationship would not be blown up by the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide," Armenian National Congress
(HAK) coordinator Levon Zurabyan said at a press conference today,
referring to recent developments in the Armenia-Turkey normalization.
"Serzh Sargsyan’s decision on suspending the ratification of
the Armenia-Turkey Protocols does not bring any change about the
ratification of those Protocols in the parliament. Thus, it will
be better to call it a decision about the address not one about
suspension," said Zurabyan.
According to him the solution to get out of this situation is
initiating a process of solidarity and national consensus. In his
words to begin with the solidarity process the ruling authorities
should first of all halt down the war with their own people, then
set free whom he called "political prisoners," and only then the
authorities and the opposition can start negotiations over how to
address the challenges the country is facing.
