    ACCORDING TO EDUARD SHARMAZANOV, TURKISH SIDE SHOULD SHOW POLITICAL WILL TO RATIFY PROTOCOLS

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 15, NOYAN TAPAN. A new stage opens in Armenia-Turkey
    relations with "football diplomacy's" end. Republican Party of Armenia
    (RPA) Spokesperson Eduard Sharmazanov expressed such an opinion at
    an October 15 press conference. In response to the question of why
    nevertheless President Serzh Sargsyan left for Turkey while he had
    declared in advance that he will go there if we are on the threshold
    of open borders or lifting the blockade E. Sharmazanov said that a
    positive prospect opens by the signing of the protocols.

    He does not share the opinion that Armenian diplomacy like the
    football national team lost this process. Moreover, according to
    E. Sharmazanov's estimation, serious developments took place over
    this one year. "As a result of President Serzh Sargsyan's initiating
    policy Armenia has become a force forming agenda in the region. We
    have passed from passive position to an active one, which is done
    not at the expense of our national and state interests," he said
    adding that in Armenia-Turkey relations the President supports only
    establishment of relations without preconditions.

    E. Sharmazanov also considers positive the fact that in the past
    months Armenian side's position was highly evaluated by the U.S., EU
    countries, and Russia. In his opinion, it is logical that the Turkish
    parliament should be the first to ratify the protocols as the border
    was closed on Turkey's initiative. Thus, according to E. Sharmazanov,
    the Turkish side should show a political will to do it.
