"I think the joint statement of coalition is quite realistic, which
matches with state and national interests," NA Deputy, Speaker of
Republican Party Edward Sharmazanov told Panorama.am.
According to the NA deputy the statement reads quite clearly that
the constructive efforts of the Armenian side and the expectations
of the international community faced Turkey's inconsistent policy of
evasion and preconditions, which brought the process of ratification
of the Armenian-Turkish protocols, signed in Zurich, October 10,
2009, within a reasonable timeframe into a deadlock.
Republican Speaker said Turkey had stated quite clearly in Washington
that Ankara wasn't ready to ratify the protocols, that's why the
political majority recommended the suspending of this issue.
"The message is that we are faithful to the spirit of protocols, and
we are faithful to the normalization process. We haven't suspended
our signature, when Turkey is ready to make the step, we'll perform
ours then," Republican speaker said.
E. Sharmazanov stated: "Both, President Sargsyan and FM Nalbandyan
have been declaring various times Armenia won't let anybody to speak a
preconditions language with us. Moreover, President Sargsyan declared
at his London released speech that when Turkey ratifies the protocols,
Armenia will have no problems to do it."
"But Turkey's PM Erdogan's statement that Armenian-Turkish ties are
directly linked with NK issue and the conflict with Azerbaijan, has
made us suspend the process until Turkey acknowledges its steps in
balance with the spirit of protocols," NA deputy said.
