No essential changes will take place in the nearest future in
regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations, Head of ARF Armenian Cause
and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan forecasted today at a
meeting with journalists.
According to him, recalling of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols to the
parliament by the Turkish government does not mean anything. "Turkey
wants to show that there is some process. Including the protocols
issue in the agenda is not news, such steps have been taken earlier
too, but the experience shows that nothing is actually done in that
direction," Kiro Manoyan said.
He said that the experience shows that Turkey has neither a wish
nor a will to regulate the relations. "Despite Armenia's readiness,
it continues to speak in the language of preconditions," Kiro Manoyan
noted, bringing the Nagorno Karabakh issue as an example, which Turkey
always brings forward as a precondition of ratifying the protocols.
"Maintenance of the signature under the protocols is profitable for
Turkey," Kiro Manoyan considers, explaining that it attempts to make
an influence on Armenia through international community in order the
latter does not recall the protocols from the signatures.
