/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is today in the run-up to signing a
document which will determine its position on global level. Publicized
Protocols on normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties cannot be signed,
ex-Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan announced today in Yerevan, during
a discussion devoted to Armenian-Turkish relations. "I'd have never
taken such chances and promulgate a document unacceptable to Armenian
society. I do not envy those who are going to sign the Protocols,"
Oskanyan said. "During my 10 years' tenure as Armenia's Foreign
Minister, I didn't introduce to society any document on Karabakh. It
would be against my conscience to promulgate a document unacceptable
to Armenian people," he added.
If Armenia eventually ratifies and signs Protocols, it will be
very difficult for next administration to renounce them. "We are
now required to seriously consider our future plans. Armenia as a
sovereign state is in the run-up to signing the most serious document,"
ex-Foreign Minister said.
