/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Turkey protracts ratification of protocols on
normalization of relations with Armenia, it will jeopardize the entire
reconciliation process, according to professor Ruben Safrastyan,
director of the RA NAN Institute of Oriental Studies.
"The Kurdish initiative is dominating Turkey's agenda. Turkish
leadership will address relations with Armenia only after progress
is registered in the Kurdish issue," he told a news conference on
Wednesday.
He also voiced an opinion that Turkish parliamentary commission will
hardly promulgate its decision of Armenia-Turkey protocols before
December 7.
"If Turkey drags out the ratification process, Yerevan can quit
negotiations," prof. Safrastyan said.
