/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Protocols on normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations have more than a dozen serious and fateful commitments
which are not preconditions but act as real conditions, the statement
released received by the head of the Modus Vivendi center Ara Papyan
says.
"The establishment of diplomatic relations is not an end in
itself. This is only a means to solve existing problems between
the countries, to settle controversy by negotiation. If we do final
concessions in all basic issues, what would we discuss tomorrow with
the Turks?" the statement of the expert says.
Ara Papyan draws attention to the paragraph 5 of the Protocol "On
establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey,
which literally reads" the mutual recognition of borders existing
between the two countries and determined by corresponding agreements
of international law".
The expert mentioned, that that the protocol is by its nature
is a final document, which formalizes the agreement of the
parties. "Protocol differs from the document since it captures,
maintains the validity of the already reached agreement," Ara Papyan
emphasized.
