The Armenian-Turkish protocols have introduced discrepancies in the
ruling Justice and Development Party of Turkey, Orientalist Vahram
Ter-Matevosyan said at today's press conference in Yerevan.
He said that some members of the Party understand that the
Armenian-Turkish protocols should be ratified and the border should be
opened, as the process has been launched and the international
community is waiting for the results; the others refuse to take any
measures for progress. The expert added that serious changes will take
place in Turkey, as the incumbent authorities of Turkey are planning
to switch from the parliamentary system of governing to the
presidential one.
"The changes in Turkey may seriously influence the foreign policy of
the country, including the Armenian- Turkish relations. So, artificial
problems may be created for the Armenian Foreign Ministry", he said.
The expert pointed out at the same time that no changes in the
political field of Turkey will cause any problems for the Armenians
living in Turkey.
To note, the Armenian-Turkish protocols were signed in Zurich on 10
October 2009. However, the protocols have not been ratified by the
Parliaments of Armenia and Turkey, as Ankara was constantly laying
down preconditions. On April 22 the process of ratification of the
protocols in the Armenian Parliament was frozen by the decree of
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
