/PanARMENIAN.Net/ After publication of Madrid principles and the
Armenian-Turkish Protocols the Armenian public must take decisive
steps to prevent all negative consequences arising from these papers,
Alekasnder Kananyan , a member of the initiative group of a newly
establishing party "Armenian choice" told a press conference in
Yerevan today.
According to him, still in the process of normalization of
Armenian-Turkish relations, nothing has changed and all previously
sold under the program.
Kananyan calls to propagate among the Armenian population that the
slightest concession in the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement and the
Karabakh settlement will lead to devastating consequences not only
for Nagorno Karabakh, but for the Armenian statehood on the whole.
Protocols on the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations have
been signed on October 10, 2009 in Zurich by the foreign ministers
of Armenia and Turkey, Edward Nalbandian and Ahmet Davutoglu in the
presence of the foreign ministers of France, the United States, Russia
and Switzerland after a series of diplomatic talks held through Swiss
mediation since 2007. According to the Protocols, diplomatic relations
should be established between the two countries and the mutual border,
closed by Turkey since 1993, should be opened. On January 12, 2010
Armenian Constitutional Court acknowledged the constituency of the
Protocols.
Karabakh- Azerbaijani conflict started in 1988. In response to peaceful
demands of the Armenians of Karabakh, constituted 80 per cent of the
population of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region (Nagorny Karabakh),
Azerbaijan had unleashed aggression against the peaceful population. As
a result of the national-liberation war of 1991-1994 Nagorno Karabakh
Republic was proclaimed. NKR Defense Army has also established a
security zone around Nagorno Karabakh, including the 7 regions. On
May 11, 1994, agreement was reached on the cease-fire (Bishkek
Protocol). Currently, France, the United States and Russia, OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs are involved in the settlement of the conflict.
The Madrid document contains the proposals put forward by the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs on the basic principles of a settlement. The
document was presented to the Armenian and Azerbaijani representatives
at the OSCE summit in the Spanish capital in November 2007.
