/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Should all countries follow protocols they signed,
we'd live in absolute peace right now, Head of Noravank Scientific
Research Center Gagik Harutyunyan told a news conference in
Yerevan. According to him, Protocols must not be fetishized. "Much
could alter after they've been signed, as history shows," Gagik
Harutyunyan said, citing 1975 Helsinki agreement as an example.
On the positive side, he noted that the Protocols will stimulate RA
economy development, and cause a rift in Azeri -Turkish relations.
"By normalizing ties with Armenia, Turkey seeks to shed the image
of a criminal," Head of Noravank Center said, accusing Turkey of the
Genocide of Armenians and Pontian Greeks.
According to him, Armenia is currently at the crossroads: on one hand,
it could abandon negotiations, which is an easy way; on the other hand,
Armenia could agree to continue talks and use its recourses to meet
competition with Turkey. "Yerevan chose the second way and now faces
a serious challenge," Gagik Harutyunyan noted.
