YEREVAN, MARCH 4, NOYAN TAPAN. "The protocols were sent to Turkish
parliament in October of last year. Not three days, but three days
multiplied by 33 have passed. That is, Turkey confesses that it
artificially delays the ratification process. This is an obvious
violation of the reached agreements, which was clearly indicated
in the joint statement issued by the foreign ministries of Armenia,
Turkey and Switzerland as long aho as 31 August 2009". This is how
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian commented on the Turkish
side's statement that the Armenia-Turkey protocols can be ratified
in the Turkish parliament within three days, but this is not done
for certain reasons.
Responding to a question of Armenpress news agency, E. Nalbandian
said that without starting the implementation of the agreements,
Turkey already voices threats to stop them. "A language of threats
has been added to the language of preconditions. I don't think that
it is possible to make progress in the normalization process without
reviewing this mode of action," E. Nalbandian said.
