R.Petrosyan: A juridical base of Armenian`Turkish reconciliation

In the very first stage of the normalization process of the Armenian `
Turkish relations the ratification process was failed because of
Turkey, thinks the NA ARP member Rafik Petrosyan.

Today on the press conference he said that in this stage of the
normalization of the relations the diplomatic actions of the RA
President and the participation of the big states to the process gave
their positive results, in particular was created a juridical base for
the further continuation of the normalization process of the Armenian
` Turkish relations.

`If Turkey changes its mind and wishes to establish relations with
Armenia we will have a juridical bas already, the protocols in that
number, based on which the relations will continue,’ the speaker said
and stressed that Armenia has not rejected its signature but has
halted the ratification of the protocols. He also mentioned that the
NA order doesn’t put any ratification time limit.

According to the deputy the Armenian ` Turkish relationshelped Armenia
and the Armenian Diaspora to have a united viewpoint and become
together. According to the speaker it also accelerated the process of
the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the international
community.
