The protocols signed in 2009 by Armenia and Turkey are not open and
termless, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan stated during the summit
of MFA central administration and the heads of diplomatic missions.
"We're committed to our disposition to set unconditioned relations with
Turkey. Turkey must find strength to respect its commitments and the
Turkish side must acknowledge that those protocols aren't endlessly
open and termless," President said adding: "Our friends recommended
us to wait patiently until Turkish Parliamentary elections. Hence,
soon we'll see if after the parliamentary elections Turkey will
be determined to changes, though the recent two months seemed
unhopeful. We'll decide our further steps over the protocols."
Making remarks on the past phase of the Armenian-Turkish mending
process, President said: "People may be thinking we regret for taking
the initiative in Armenian-Turkish relations, as the process has
been failed because of Turkey and huge political resources have been
wasted. I think you understand that the initiative has improved the
international reputation of Armenia."
