    ArmInfo. The reason of protracted signing of the Armenian-Turkish
    protocols in Zurich was the speech by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet
    Davudoghlu which was a provocation containing a hint at Karabakh,
    Richard Giragosian, Director at Armenian Center for National and
    International Studies (ACNIS), told media on Monday.

    "Signing of the Armenian-Turkish protocols was dragged out, which was
    very interesting and informative for us. It revealed Turkey's strategy
    of playing with Armenia and making new demands at any favorable
    opportunity. Thanks to that, Turkey got an opportunity to make a
    strategic test for Armenia to see Armenia's response. At the same time,
    it became a test for the international community," he said. Giragosian
    believes that the given step by Turkey has disappointed both the
    Swiss and US delegations that were not informed of the situation. He
    highlighted that the Swiss and American delegations supported Armenia
    whereas Russian and European stayed aside.

    "That was the very reason of Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet
    Davutoghlu's smiling and Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian's
    seriousness. The Turkish test failed since the Armenian party
    threatened to leave back to Armenia if the Turkish party kept on its
    provocation," Giragosian said.

    Armenia and Turkey signed the "Protocol on the establishment
    of diplomatic relations" and the "Protocol on the development of
    bilateral relations" in Zurich on October 10. To come into effect
    the protocols must be submitted to the respective Parliaments for
    the ratification on each side. Armenia and Turkey have no diplomatic
    relations and their border was closed in 1993 by Ankara.
