/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Preliminary signature of Protocols will be followed
by internal discussions of documents, revealing variety of opinions in
Armenian and Turkish societies and political circles, YSU lecturer,
Turkish studies expert Ruben Melkonyan told today a news conference
in Yerevan.
According to him, the main pro-opposition forces strongly criticize
normalization process, as that may "infringe Azerbaijan’s interests".
Ratification of documents by both countries’ parliaments will impart
a new impulse to the process, Armenian expert said, adding that
proportion of forces in Turkish parliament shows the likelihood of
ratifying the documents.
However, he did not rule out the contrary process, considering Turkish
analysts’ reports on Premier Erdogan’s yesterday’s statement that
Turkish parliament will not ratify documents unless Karabakh conflict
is resolved.
