ArmInfo. Normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations within
interest of the two states and peoples as well as regional peace and
stability, says the statement on the Armenian-Turkish process by the
Armenian National Congress.
"The protocols on establishment of diplomatic relations between
Armenia and Turkey and on development of bilateral relations are
tangible progress in this direction. Nevertheless, establishment of an
intergovernmental sub-commission of Armenian and Turkish historians
is inadmissible to us, since it casts doubt on the fact of Armenian
Genocide. In addition, we are concerned about the condition on
ratification of the given documents by the parliaments of the two
states, which will allow Serzh Sargsyan to share responsibility for
establishment of the sub-commission with the parliament and Turkey to
protract the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border under the pretext
of the unsettled Karabakh conflict," the ANC states.
On August 31 the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Turkey agreed
to start their internal political consultations on the two protocols -
the "Protocol on the establishment of diplomatic relations" and the
"Protocol on the development of bilateral relations" - which have been
initiated in the course of their efforts under Swiss mediation. Earlier
on April 22 the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Armenia, the Republic of Turkey and the Swiss Federal Department of
Foreign Affairs made a Joint Statement on identification of "roadmap".
