Armenia should refuse from the negotiations with Turkey in order
to come out of the current situation with minimal losses, since
the normalization of relations "without preconditions" is obviously
failing, Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau's
Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan and political
scientist Yervand Bozoyan told a press conference today. They are
assured that Armenia has only suffered in the process, while the
situation is rather advantageous for Turkey.
According to Kiro Manoyan, after the joint statement Armenia and
Turkey released on the eve of the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day,
the Turkish steps have been countering the spirit of that declaration,
since the later has declared many times that ratification of any
document on the establishment of diplomatic relations is impossible
until the settlement of the Karabakh issue.
Kiro Manoyan considers that today Armenia has serious grounds to
declare that it is withdrawing form the talks: Turkey does not adhere
to the principle of establishing relations without preconditions.
Political scientist Yerevan Bozoyan is also confident that continuing
the talks with Turkey under these conditions is senseless and
dangerous.
According to him, one should not ignore the fact that Armenia-Turkey
relations are asymmetric, and obviously the ou ter pressures will
impose concessions on Armenia first. He is assured that the process
of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations is already frozen,
and today it's only Turkey that benefits from the process.
