MFA: Next match will take place when Turkey is well-trained
Armenia had to suspend the process of ratification of the protocols
with Turkey, Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan told the Segodnya
Ukrainian news center.
`We are ready to advance. The ball is in Turkey's field. The next
match will take place when Turkey is well-trained,' Nalbandyan said.
According to the Minister, Armenian President's initiative on
normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations had no preconditions.
`We launched this process with the very agreement. We agreed on
initiation of protocols on establishment of diplomatic relations and
development of mutual relations. The protocols were signed in October
2009 in Zurich. However, Turkey, referring to a third country said it
could not ratify the protocols. In a few months Turkey proved to be
speaking the language of preconditions in connection with the Armenian
Genocide, just like before the negotiations. The second precondition
related to the Nagorno Karabakh settlement. Turkey demanded that we
resolve the problem to continue negotiating with us. And we can tell
Turkey to resolve the Cyprus issue, to normalize the relations with
Kurds, and only then we will talk...,' Nalbandyan said in his remarks.
