Yerevan expects more steps from Ankara toward normalizing relations -
President Sargsyan
YEREVAN July 22
Armenia expects Turkey to take more steps toward normalizing
Armenian-Turkish relations, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.
"The whole world is calling on Turkey to display its will and ratify
the protocols that have been signed, and the Turks apparently do not
hear this," Sargsyan said at a meeting with activists from the youth
group Together and diaspora members.
"We have already displayed our will. We never ignore the hand of
friendship extended to us. We have already done everything that
depends on us, and now we are waiting for the Turks to display their
will," he said.
Turkey and Armenia signed protocols for normalizing relations between
the two states and the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border in
Zurich in October 2009. The two parliaments, however, have not
ratified the protocols. Turkey is apparently tying the normalization
of relations with Armenia to the settlement of the Armenian-Azeri
conflict over the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh republic.
