Too much set at stake, Armenian MP states
16:11 / 04/10/2010`If Turkish Premier Recep Erdogan holds a meeting
with RA President Serzh Sargsyan in Washington, USA, in the spirit of
his recent statements, the Turkish Parliament, I think, will soon
ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols without any preconditions,’
stated Naira Zohrabyan, an MP of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP).
She pointed out that the Armenian side has never failed to meet its
commitments since the process got under way.
`The Turkish side has repeatedly done it by trying to link the process
to Nagorno-Karabakh. The European Union, United States and Russia have
clearly stated that the two processes have nothing in common thereby
subjecting Turkey to a stalemate. Now Turkey has to make a move,’
Zohrabyan said.
`The international community set too much at stake, and the country
that will fail the process will find itself in an unenviable
situation. I can say for certain Armenia will not be the state,’
Zohrabyan said.
As to whether the U.S. leader will manage to get the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem considered separately from the Armenian-Turkish process, she
said: `Many of U.S. high-ranking officials clearly stated that the two
processes have nothing in common. I hope President Obama will insist
on this at the Washington meeting.’
