The first stage of the Armenian-Turkish process is completed, Director
of Armenian Genocide Museum & Institute said.
"The dialogue failed because of Turkey, which preferred not to
spoil relations with Azerbaijan but couldn't suspend the process of
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide or make Armenia
compromise over the Karabakh issue," Hayk Demoyan told journalists
in Yerevan on May 6.
"A new normalization process should begin with opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border and establishment of diplomatic relations.
However, it cannot be based on the Protocols signed in Zurich in
October 2009," he said.
As to Turkey's claims to Nakhijevan, Mr. Demoyan said these are
groundless. "Turkey and Armenia have equal rights to Nakhijevan, since
the Treaty of Kars determining the fate of the autonomy was signed by
the Armenian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR and Turkey. "Viewing Turkey's claims
as violation of international agreements, Armenia can address to the
International Court," he said.
