Moscow calls Parliaments of Turkey and Armenia to ratify the signed
Protocols shortly, states RF MFA Spokesman Andrey Nesterenko October
15.
"Signing of the protocols is the first step on the way of
Armenia-Turkey normalization. The parties should ratify the documents
as soon as possible and start their realization," he says. According
to Nesterenko, Russia is ready to back the process through further
cooperation with the countries.
Commenting on the Zurich signing ceremony October 10, RF MFA official
underlined, "We are frankly glad about the process — as both Armenia
and Turkey are states friendly to Russia."
"To our opinion, the essence of the documents prove the two countries
really intend to go their way of the deal. Noteworthy, not a single
step made by either of sides can cause any harm to any third party,"
assures Nesterenko.
