    PROTOCOLS RATIFICATION DOESN'T PROMOTE REGIONAL SECURITY: ASALA

    Tert

    Armenia

    "Renounce the Protocols completely. It is necessary to return to the
    arena of rights and to demand the right of Armenians by legal means,"
    said Armenian Secret Army for Liberation of Armenia (ASALA), "Oukht
    Ararat" coordinator Tigran Pashabezyan during a press conference today.

    Presenting ASALA representatives' concerns, Pashabezyan stated that
    ratification of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols doesn't promote regional
    security, but increases risks. According to him, the next concern
    is that the Protocols are an attempt to oust the 1948 UN Convention
    on Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. And finally,
    with the Protocols, the sides assume responsibilities before Europe,
    which means having to deal with a new legal package.

    ASALA wrote an open letter stating their concerns on the risks of
    the Protocols to the US, Russian and French presidents, Secretary
    General of the EU Council, Chair of the Council of Europe Committee
    of Ministers, and the Armenian and Turkish presidents, and is waiting
    for a response. Pashabezyan stated that after ratifying the Protocols,
    the responsibility for any developments, positive or negative, falls
    on the countries gathered at Zurich (where the signing ceremony took
    place), as well as on Armenia and Turkey.
