/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Just as a number of political observers predicted,
stance towards Armenia taken by Turkey since 1992 remained unchanged,
Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group secretary Aram Safaryan said.

"Still, given regional developments, Armenia thought establishment
of constructive dialogue with Turkey possible, to which end RA-Turkey
Protocols were signed," he told a news conference.

As Safaryan pointed out, there is a chance to establish Armenia-Turkey
dialogue in case parliaments of both countries agree to ratify
Protocols without preconditions.

"Yet, Ankara will take no steps to contradict Baku’s interests, the
latter being a decisive factor in Turkey’s decision making process,"
Aram Safaryan stressed, adding that international community should
be kept aware of true reasons hampering Armenia-Turkey reconciliation
process.
