The struggle waged by the political forces that opposed the
Armenian-Turkish protocols has finally produced results, Armen
Rustamyan, Executive Council member, Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun) (ARF(D)), stated at a rally in Yerevan on April
23. Every new Armenian government has to make sure that Turkey has
not changed and is not seeking a dialogue, he said. "However, we must
continue our struggle, as the ratification process, which has been
suspended now, may be resumed any moment," Rustamyan said.
"Our ultimate end is to get Armenia's withdrawal from the
Armenian-Turkish process, as it is an insult to our nation's dignity,"
he said.
Rustamyan pointed out the erroneous attempts to find any disagreements
between Turks and Azerbaijanis, as they are actually one people living
in two different states.
A year ago, on the threshold of the 94th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, Yerevan and Ankara stated their intention to establish
bilateral relations. On April 22, 2010, the Armenian side had to state
its decision to suspend the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish
protocols signed in Zurich on October 10, 2009, the reason being
Turkish officials' destructive position and delay in ratifying the
documents.
