It's naive to view the Armenian-Turkish process as Armenia's
initiative, member of the initiating group of "Sardarapat" Movement
Zhirayr Sefilyan told a pres conference today. According to him,
the process develops within the framework of the strategic programs
of the West and aims to ensure the access of the West to Asia and
push Russia out of the South Caucasus.
Turkey benefits from the geopolitical changes in the region,
according to Sefilyan. Then why doesn't Turkey rush to ratify the
Armenian-Turkish protocols?
"Loyal to their usual way of action Turks are now trying to get the
maximum form the process. The task of the Turkish side today is to
grab the maximum from the Armenian side," he said.
The liberated territories of Artsakh are the maximum for Turkey
in this case. Sefilyan said to be dissatisfied with President
Sargsyan's speech in London. "Serzh Sargsyan spoke only about the
former Autonomous Region of Nagorno Karabakh, without mentioning the
liberated territories." "We never speak about the rest. Does this
mean we are ready to yield the liberated territories?"
Which is the minimum of the maximum level of concessions acceptable to
"Sardarapat" Movement? Sefilyan said that saying mutual concessions
his supporters understand the maintaining of the status quo.
