Armenia
Leader of Heritage Party parliamentary faction Stepan Safaryan
referred to Armenia's and Turkey's minimum and maximum aims that,
according to the MP, the two countries are pursuing today.
Thus, according to Safaryan, today Armenia, at the very least,
aims for Turkey to ratify the Protocols soon, by April 24, so that
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia-Turkey processes are separated as soon
as possible. At most, again according to the MP, Armenia's purpose
is for the U.S. to threaten Turkey if the latter doesn't ratify
the Protocols; that is, the U.S. Congress passes the resolution on
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Turkey, on the other hand, Safaryan is convinced, at the very least,
aims for ratification of the Protocols in case there is at least
positive dynamics in the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh issue, which will
please Azerbaijan. And at most, Turkey wishes to ratify the Protocols
late, so that it manages to settle some issues during that period,
beginning from Nagorno-Karabakh to significant participation in the
Caucasus politics.
