The Armenian-Turkish dialogue takes pause, according to Turkologist
Ruben Melkonyan.
"The process on normalization of relations has hit a deadlock,
mostly because of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Turkey,"
Melkonyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
As to ratification of Protocols, he noted that these have not been
removed from the agenda, as neither Armenia nor Turkey withdraw
signatures. "Should both countries demonstrate political will, the
Protocols can give a start to a new process. It's not ruled out that
they will be amended," Melkonyan said.
