The member of the Zharangutiun (Heritage) party parliamentary faction
Stepan Safarian spoke about the developments of the bilateral relations
of the Republic of Armenia and Turkish Republic. He divided the
Armenian – Turkish relations launched since 2007 into 4 rounds.
According to Safarian 2007-2008 September was the hidden period of
the diplomacy, during which have been discussed questions concerning
the opening of the boarders, establishing diplomatic relations and
creation of intergovernmental commissions.
"Those documents have been ready before Gul’s arrival to Armenia",
– Safarian assured.
The second round was in 2008 September to 2009 April. The deputy
called it "Real Football" when the ball appeared at first in Armenian
and then in Turkish playground. 2009 April 2009 August- it is the
"midnight diplomacy" round when the issues were being solved after
midnight. And the round started on September 2009 the speaker called
"shocking".
"Now there is nothing left to do then to defend the shocks. The
Armenian diplomacy will be defending", – said Stepan Safarian adding
that till the Turkish diplomats were making a record the Armenian
diplomats were in Baden- Baden.
