YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian National Congress
Central Office has made a statement presenting its estimation to
the agreement reached by Armenia and Turkey on starting domestic
political consultations over two protocols presigned during
negotiations conducted with the mediation of Switzerland (Protocol
on Establishment of Diplomatic Relations Between the Two Countries
and Protocol on Development of Bilateral Relations).
Mentioning that normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations is
in the interests of the two countries and peoples, as well as in
the interests of regional peace and stability, ANC states that the
protocols on establishment of diplomatic relations and on development
of bilateral relations between Armenia and Turkey are a considerable
advance in that direction.
Meanwhile ANC considers inadmissible the provision on creation of
an intergovernmental commission of Armenian and Turkish historians,
which casts a doubt on the fact of the Armenian Genocide.
"The condition of ratification of the mentioned documents by the
two countries' parliaments causes anxiety, it gives Serzh Sargsyan
a possibility to share with the parliament the responsibility of
creating the commission and Turkey to delay the issue of ratification
with the motivation of Nagorno Karabakh problem's being not settled,
and thus to delay the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border," the
ANC statement read.
