23:47 / 10/10/2009
The signing ceremony of the Armenian-Turkish protocols was held in a
most tense atmosphere. After a long delay and consultations, RA and
Turkish Foreign Ministers signed the Protocols 3 hours behind
schedule.
The ceremony participants refused to make the previously announced
final statements that caused controversy. Earlier Swiss Foreign
Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey stated the sides were to make statements
after the ceremony. However, according to Armenian diplomats, it was
not of vital importance as RA President Serzh Sargsyan today made an
extensive statement on the Protocols.
As NEWS.am already reported, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan and
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu signed the Armenian-Turkish
Protocols at 11:16 p.m. Yerevan time.
