/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recent discussions in Armenia and Diaspora over
RA-Turkish Protocols revealed serious concerns over documents which
contain all three preconditions satisfying Turkey , Kiro Manoyan,
ARFD Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office director, told a news
conference in Yerevan.
"Such concern was also expressed by President during his October
10 address. Serzh Sargsyan disclosed the threats and preconditions
voiced by Dashnaktsutyun. We are confident that if President had
assumed such stance earlier, Protocols wouldn’t have been signed,"
ARFD says in a statement. Dashnak activists also claim that that all
Armenian officials, as well as those who support signed Protocols
should have supported such position.
On October 10, RA President Serzh Sargsyan addressed the following
statement to Armenian people, "The whole world became aware that
RA-Turkish relations involve not only 3 million Armenian residents,
but also 10 million Armenians all over the world. Armenian nation is
united in its goals, and attempts to separate Armenia and Diaspora
are useless. Independence requires the will and determination for
brave decisions, realism and consistent work. I’ve chosen this way
and did it with a deep sense of responsibility and belief in Armenia’s
future. I’d like to once again emphasize that any relations with Turkey
can’t question the veracity of Armenian Genocide. Intergovernmental
committee’s subcommission is not a historical committee. The issue on
the absence of borders between Armenia and Turkey is to be resolved
in accordance with international legislation. RA-Turkey relations
are not linked to NKR conflict settlement".
