"Turks sometimes simply express their wish and say things that are
not included in the Armenian-Turkish protocols," said MP Mkrtich
Minasyan, member of the Republican faction. According to him, it's
natural that Turkey makes such statements for "inner consumption"
and for the sake of not offending the "little brother.
The Turkish Parliament cannot but ratify nothing else than the
signed protocols, and nothig else. According to the Republican MP,
if Turkey attempts to make other decisions simultaneously with the
ratification of the protocols, Armenia will view it as violation of
the agreements reached and will take corresponding steps. "We either
have to refuse from ratifying the protocols or express a clear position
on the Genocide issue and the Karabakh conflict."
The two countries have agreed that the two above-mentioned issues
are not subject to discussion. The question refers to the opening of
the border and establishment of diplomatic relations only, Mkrtich
Minasyan said.
