Armenia
Armenian lawmaker, Republican Rafik Petrosian said at today's press
conference that Turkey's government is going to renew Armenia-Turkey
negotiations. However, Turkey doesn't take any concrete steps,
he added.
This view was expressed in comments in relation to the recent statement
of a Turkish expert who said during his travel to Yerevan that Turkish
cabinet is secretly negotiating on re-opening of talks with Armenia.
"The Turkish public mostly doesn't accept relations with Armenia,"
said Petrosian.
Larisa Alaverdian, a lawmaker from Heritage Party, in her part said
that the Armenian side has dangerous hopes linked to Turkey's position.
"Armenians are expecting for when the Turkish public will understands
that it is good to Turkey to renew Armenia-Turkey normalisation
process," she said and voiced concerns that due to normalisation of
relations with Armenia Turkey can reach a goal - recognition of the
illegal borders by Armenia, while these borders weren't accepted even
during Soviet-era times.
"A protocol was signed between Armenia and Turkey and it clearly
contains an article that Armenia and Turkey are mutually recognizing
the current and acting borders as the state borders," warned Mrs
Alaverdian.
