PAST AND PRESENT ARMENIAN PRESIDENTS’ SINCERITY DISCUSSED IN PARLIAMENT
Tert.am

Armenia
Relations without preconditions not only are driven by the Armenian and
Turkish peoples’s interests, but also contribute to peace and stability
in the region, stated independent MP Viktor Dallakyan in parliament
yesterday. He added that, along with their vulnerable aspects, the
Armenian-Turkish protocols are a considerable step in that direction.
"At one time [ex-president of Armenian] Ter-Petrosyan had a genuine
wish to establish Armenian-Turkish relations, but he was unable to
do so, or the possibility wasn’t made available for him," stated
Dallakyan.
Turning his attention to ex-president Kocharian’s term in office,
Dallakyan noted that the second president didn’t have a genuine wish to
establish Armenian-Turkish relations; rather, Kocharian only created an
"imitation" of those relations.
As for the current president, according to Dallakyan, Serzh Sargsyan
does in fact have a genuine wish to establish Armenian-Turkish
relations. "Sargsyan’s steps are the governing bodies’ test before
the Armenian and international communities," concluded Dallakyan.
