Turkey will long refrain from taking steps towards ratification of
the protocols, irrespective of the fact whether the pressures on
Turkey strengthen or not, MP Ara Nranyan told a press conference today.
"Turkey will make no concessions: instead it will be waiting for
concessions on the Karabakh issue," he said.
Ara Nranyan characterized the current state of the Armenian-Turkish
relations as the failure of the idealistic romantic political sector
of both Armenia and the West. The ARF representative considers that
problems will not be solved by suspension of the ratification process.
"Moreover, it’s dangerous to leave the situation to the generation
to come. Therefore, a new process should be starred to correct all
the mistakes and omissions," he added.
After the signing of the protocols many were declaring that it
would stop the process of international recognition of the Armenian
Genocide," Republican MP Sukias Avetisyan reminded, adding that
"we witnessed the opposite: the process further intensified."
Touching upon President Sargsyan’s famous address, Sukias Avetisyan
pointed to two essential factors. "First, President Sargsyan reiterated
that no concessions would be made in the process of international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Second, he assured that
the Karabakh issue would never be considered in the context of the
Armenian-Turkish relations. Besides, the President’s speech laid the
responsibility for the process on Turkey," he stated.
