JOINT STATEMENT BY THE POLITICAL COUNCILS OF THE PARTIES FORMING THE
POLITICAL COALITION IN THE RA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
In the last two years, the RA President has taken consistent steps
toward establishing and developing Turkish-Armenian relations without
preconditions with support from the political majority of the RA
National Assembly.
The US, the Russian Federation, France and Switzerland actively
contributed to the process and many countries of the world gave
a positive response to the initiative, stressing its exceptional
importance for establishing stability in the region and solving
current issues through civilized dialogue.
Armenia's constructive efforts and the international community's
expectations clashed with Turkey's inconsistent and dodging positions,
its ongoing policy on setting preconditions which led the process of
ratifying the Turkey-Armenia Protocols signed on 2009 October 10 in
Zurich in a reasonable timeframe into a labyrinth.
The majority of the RA National Assembly does not accept Turkey's
announcements, particularly the latest announcements by Prime
Minister Erdogan according to which the Turkish parliament continues
to directly link the ratification of the Turkey-Armenia Protocols with
the settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Taking into account that Turkey's refusal to meet the commitments
of ratifying the Protocols without preconditions and in a reasonable
timeframe makes it senseless to continue the process of ratification
at the RA National Assembly, the majority deems it necessary to decree
a moratorium and, as an issue of necessity, take the discussion of
the issue out of the agenda of the National Assembly's four-day
sessions until the Turkish side is ready to continue the process
without preconditions.
