/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Published "night" Protocols appeared after the
interview of Serzh Sargsyan on the BBC Air, where he says that he see
that Turkey does not have desire to honor their commitments. Finally,
we got something that could not be done!
In fact, the paragraphs of the Protocols confidently outline the
defeat of the Armenian diplomacy," Ruben Mehrabyan, an expert at the
Armenian Center for Political and International Studies said in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
According to him, in spite of verbal shell-serving TV optimists and
politically-biased "Teletubbies", these protocols satisfy all three
preconditions of the Turkish side constantly being put forward in
recent years, such as: confirmation of existing borders, cancellation
of the policy of the Genocide international recognition, which did
not take place by the Turkish official version, stopping of Karabakh
"occupation".
"The protocol of diplomatic relations has a specific item, although
the international practice of establishing of diplomatic relations
implies recognition of existing borders (of course, if the territorial
claims are not officially announced what had not happened between
Armenia and Turkey).
Further, the committee has a subcommittee on historical issues,
which will explore archive historical documents. Nobody is against
studying any document, it is clear interstate commission mustn’t be
created! You just need to open the archives, and invite anyone who
wants to study them. Otherwise, the Genocide issue becomes the subject
of discussion, that simply an insult to every Armenian. And you will
need to explain to those countries that have already recognized the
Genocide and the Turks, who, sometimes persecuted, also recognized
the fact of the genocide," the expert said.
Meanwhile, according to the expert, the Karabakh settlement is not
mentioned in the protocols. "The procedure for implementing the proto
press the political leadership of Armenia to the wall and force them
to sign so-called Madrid Principles in the Cracow edition, which has
rejected by the official Yerevan.
If Ankara would give back up to the so-called "football diplomacy",
then Serzh Sargsyan would have a formal reason to delay the settlement
of Nagorno Karabakh. However, the card was broken, the possible
maneuver is zero. Does it make sense to insert anything else into
the protocol?
The Armenian side has received the promise of open borders, if they
behave quietly and decently. Decently means according to the above
mentioned. In fact, the dialectic of the past 1.5-2 years and by
the end of this year a following scheme is seen: political crisis –
a foreign policy gamble, gamble with the illusive goal to solve this
crisis – diplomatic defeat – a new system crisis. The main lesson to
be learned from this phase of modern history, in my opinion, is that
the solution to vital national goals does not tolerate carelessness
and simulation, arrogance and stupidity, and lack of the proportion
sense." Ruben Mehrabyan said.
