ArmInfo. Actually, Serzh Sargsyan's decision to "suspend the procedure"
of ratification of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols does not change the
status of the process of their ratification in Armenian parliament,
says the statement of the oppositional Armenian National Congress
(ANC).
The Armenian opposition thinks that it will be more correct to consider
it not a decision on "suspension", but a decision on "the speech"
through which Serzh Sargsyan expresses his state of frustration
concerning the results of the so-called Armenian-Turkish football
diplomacy, for which, ANC supposes, the Armenian presidents has
all grounds.
Firstly, the main failure of his policy is that despite the published
intentions and promises, he failed to disconnect the process of the
Armenian-Turkish normalization from the Karabakh peace process.
Secondly, as a consequence of this failure, the international community
is currently considering the Armenian-Turkish and Karabakh process
as a single problem, which should be settled by means of a package
variant. Thirdly, Turkey has managed to make the international
community, and first and foremost, OSCE Minsk Group co- chair
countries direct their efforts to exerting pressure on Armenia
to settle the Karabakh conflict as soon as possible. Fourthly,
Serzh Sargsyan's concession to Turkey in the matter of creating
a commission of historians stipulated by the Protocols is hereby
becoming irrelevant and unilateral. There was no need in such morally
inadmissible concession, as in case of the Karabakh conflict settlement
Turkey would all the same open the bilateral border.
Fifthly, under the guise of the commission of historians Turkey
has been provided with an opportunity to act without ratifying the
Protocols, having allowed the USA to evade recognizing the fact of
the Armenian Genocide and complicated the process of recognition
of the given crime in general. Sixthly, even in case of satisfying
Turkey;s requirements concerning Karabakh, Serzh Sargsyan already
cannot refuse this commission. Seventhly, having gained denial of
the Genocide and compensated nothing for this, Turkey is currently
developing its success by demanding returning Aghdam and Fizouli to
Azerbaijan against opening of the border, and according to some data,
it has already received the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries'
support in this matter.
ANC believes that Serzh Sargsyan feels deceived by Turkey and the
international community; however, the circumstance that he has deceived
Armenian people is even harder. "The key reason of this failure is
that Serzh Sargsyan was forced to get involved in such a diplomatic
process, which would allow him to gain the support of the international
community and consolidate his vulnerable and illegitimate ruling in
Armenia",- says the Armenian opposition and adds that the only way
to suppress this destructive process is to initiate processes on
achievement of solidarity and national consolidation that will lead
to formation of democracy and legitimate power in Armenia.
