where every piece is obliged to think, leader of National Consent
party Aram Harutyunyan told a press conference in Yerevan. Armenian
side, he said, has made its first move, pending the next step by
Turkey. `Armenian-Turkish Protocols cannot respond to both parties'
interests,» politician said, adding that the party which first
renounces the process will find itself in an unfavorable
situation. «We don't have to avoid open talks over Armenian
Genocide issue. Armenian side has nothing to lose in this
situation,» Harutyunyan noted.
