YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The position of the Armenian
authorities that the RA National Assembly should wait for ratification
of the Armenian-Turkish protocols by the Turkish parliament and only
then ratify them is quite logical. Bargavach Hayastan (Prosperous
Armenia) party Chairman's Spokesperson Khachik Galstian stated at
an October 29 press conference. According to him, if Armenia is
the first to ratify the mentioned documents, the Turks will start a
political bargaining demanding some concessions for ratification of
the protocols by them.
The BH Spokesperson declared that the party has always been for
normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations without preconditions.
In response to the question of in what case BH will change its position
K. Galstian said that if the Turkish parliament decides to establish
relations with Armenia only in case the Nagorno Karabakh problem is
settled the BH parliamentary faction will vote against ratification
of the protocols.
Speaking about the video material that has appeared in Internet lately
where a donkey and two lion cubs torture one another K. Galstian
thanked the journalists who did not spread the aspersion that
allegedly the lion cubs belong to the BH leader. He said that
currently their lawyers look for the authors of the video material
and are going to put them on trial with the demand of compensation of
moral damage. K. Galstian assured that BH will provide the confiscated
funds to animal protection organizations.
