Social Democratic Party Hnchakyan party made a statement in connection
with the release of texts of the Armenian-Turkish protocols. The
statement asserts that a thorough study of the protocols will indicate
the beginning of the process of unilateral concessions on the part of
Armenia. Recognizing the territorial integrity and inviolability of
borders of third countries, Armenia, in fact, recognizes Artsakh as
part of Azerbaijan. By agreeing to the establishment of a commission
to study historical issues, Armenia will close the issue of genocide
recognition. Recognizing the present border between both countries, in
fact, Armenia will recognize the Kars Treaty imposed on the Armenians.
Although the border was spoken to be open without any precondition,
however, the study of texts of the protocols suggests that we are
proposed to pay a huge price for the opening of borders. If the price
is the refusal to recognize the genocide, it is not anything else but
a betrayal of national interests, the statement says. Adopting the
"road map" on Armenian-Turkish relations, our people have not only
to renounce their territorial claims, but also to exclude their
Karabakh’s participation in the negotiations.
We have repeatedly stated that the normalization of the Armenian
and Turkish relations is impossible without the participation of the
Diaspora, whose existence is attributable to the genocide implemented
by Turkey, is said in the statement.
The proposed documents are not acceptable for the SDHP and we are
ready to use all our capabilities to thwart the ratification of these
protocols, the statement runs.
