/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey
relations quietened down, but this calm is a preparation for intensive
events, Alexander Iskandaryan, Director of the Caucasus Institute,
political scientist told a press conference in Yerevan today.
He presented several options of ratification of the initialed
Protocols on normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations in the Turkish
Parliament. "Protocols can be ratified in January, the second, this
probably will happen by April 24 (Day of Remembrance of the Armenian
Genocide victims). Third and less probable option is ratification
behind the closed doors, and the fourth option - "suspension",
delaying the ratification," the political scientist said.

colleagues, that "if the Turkish political elite wants, it can smuggle
through Parliament anything".

already sticks, what would be the carrot, we will see ", Alexander
Iskandaryan said.
