Though the protocols on the normalization of the relations between
Turkey and Armenia signed in Zurich, October 10, 2009, have been
brought to the agenda of the Turkish parliament, it will be ratified
only with the additional stipulations of Turkey, APA Turkey bureau
reports referring to its sources in the Parliament.

According to APA, Ankara plans to put forward the following
stipulations: a commission of historians from both countries should
be established, Armenia must recognize the existing borders of
Turkey in accordance with the Kars and Moscow Treaties and refuse
from territorial claims, concrete steps must be taken to solve the
Nagorno Karabakh issue.

According to the sources, the ruling Justice and Development Party
(AKP) fears that some parliamentarians representing the party may
vote against the protocols. Therefore, ratification of the Zurich
protocols with additional stipulations may make it easier for AKP.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
