Instead of waiting for Turkey's reply, Armenia must withdraw the
signature from the protocols, the director of the ARF bureau's Hay
Dat and political affairs office stated.
As Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan, Turkey is only
gaining from current situation with protocols, in contrast to Armenia.
"Protocols contain two clauses interpreted by several countries in
the same way Turkey does it," Manoyan said.
According to him, U.S., Great Britain, and Sweden have similar idea
about the purpose of the historic subcommittee creation. "The countries
believe the subcommittee must take up discussion of the historic
fact of the Armenian Genocide. Besides, U.S., as well as Turkey,
believe that thorough protocols, Armenia recognizes the existing
Armenian-Turkish border. However, by doing so, these countries do
not consider the statements of the Armenian side, specifically made
by President Serzh Sargsyan," Manoyan said.
He also added that clauses in question allow Turkey to set Karabakh
issue-related preconditions.
