YEREVAN. - The expectations that after parliamentary elections in
Turkey Ankara will come up with a proposal of restarting the
negotiation process of Armenian-Turkish relations were in vain. That
is not a surprise as the settlement of Armenian-Turkish relations was
not represented in any of the pre-election campaigns of Turkish
parties, ARF Dashnaktsutyun member, responsible for Hay Dat issues
Kiro Manoyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him, as usual Turkey presents preconditions concerning
the Karabakh conflict and only after that Turkey is ready to restart
the negotiation process.
`The Turkish side considers it to be its duty to remind us about it
weekly. It is time for the Armenian side to withdraw its signatures
from the protocols and to put the project consisting of 3 paragraphs
on the negotiation table. After that we can wait that Turkey's
government will wish to settle relations with Armenia,' he added.
Talking about the fact that lately the Turkish government allows to
express itself incorrectly about the Armenian government, Manoyan
mentioned that it was a usual action by the Turkish government
teaching everybody lessons and trying to prove something to someone.
However, such a behavior may have an opposite effect.
`The world witnessed that the failure of the Armenian-Turkish
relations settlement was Turkey's fault and currently Turkey does
everything it can so that Armenia will not withdraw its signatures.
Those protocols benefit Turkey and it is about time that Armenia
withdrew its signatures thinking about its own interests and not
trying to prove to the West what a reliable partner it is,' Manoyan
said.
