Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan decided to withdraw from the
country’s Parliament protocols aimed at establishing diplomatic ties
with Turkey.
Addressing Armenian Speaker of Parliament Galust Sahakyan, Sarksyan
said he was recalling Armenia-Turkey protocols from the Parliament.
Regretting the Turkish authorities’ turning a deaf ear to Armenia’s
call; Sarksyan said “I have decided to recall from the National
Assembly of Armenia the protocols.”
In 2009, the Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers had signed
the agreement in the Swiss city of Zurich. The agreement aimed at
restoring diplomatic ties between the countries. In addition the
agreement aimed at re-open the common border between Armenia and
Turkey, which has been closed since 1993.
