/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Pro Patria national movement calls for declaring
November 22 - the day of signing Woodrow Wilson's arbitral decision on
Armenian-Turkish border - a state holiday, movement representative
Marine Vahradyan said in Yerevan. `The day became decisive for
Armenia, so we have submitted our proposal to National Assembly,' she
stressed.
Commenting on RA-Turkish Protocols, she said the most convincing view
in that regard was expressed by Head of Modus Vivendi analytical
center Ara Papyan. Sharing his position on documents, she pointed out
to the inadmissibility of recognizing Armenian-Turkish border as
stipulated in Kars Treaty. `The only international document on
recognizing the border is US President Woodrow Wilson's arbitral
decision,' she stressed.
In turn, Armenian studies expert Vazgen Vahradyan said, `We have a
powerful weapon to win Turkey. That's international law which favors
Armenia's interests.' Addressing RA-Turkish Protocols, he said Armenia
doesn't need to normalize relations with Turkey because bilateral ties
`are normal as it is'. `Our relations with such recidivist state are
deemed quite natural,' he said, adding that bilateral ties
normalization would be possible only in case of Turkey's recognizing
Armenian Genocide and eliminating its consequences. `I don't need
Turkey's apologies unless consequences of Genocide are abolished,' he
added.
