GOVERNING AUTHORITIES IN NO POSITION TO PRESIDE OVER ARMENIAN-TURKISH PROCESS: IGITYAN
Tert.am
18:22 ~U 11.01.10
Pan-Armenian National Movement board member Hovhannes Igityan,
upon Tert.am's request, provided his opinion of today's opposition
rally and march organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun). He noted that organizers have chosen the least
effective method of protest, since, according to Igityan, the issue
and the solution lie not in the text of the Protocols or in their
ratification, but in the governing authorities, who are in no condition
to oversee the Armenian-Turkish process.
Continuing, Igityan stated that the protest against the Protocols
should've been directed not toward changing a word or a comma in the
Protocols, but to the root of the issue: the country's democratization,
as well as to the country's governing rulers who, in his opinion,
are unable to preside over such an important process.
The Pan-Armenian National Movement board member believes that not
only do the country's current leaders not have the legitamcy accorded
to individuals in such positions (due to the fraudulent elections
of March 1, 2008), but they also do not have sufficient knowledge
of politics. In Igityan's opinion, Turkey is in a more favourable
position when up against outside forces.
