The symposium, which opens today in the Turkish city of Erzurum, will
be attended by 75 Turkish and foreign scientists and researchers of
the Turkish-Armenian relations from Azerbaijan, the UK, U.S., France
and Iran, Turkish media reported.
Fifteen meetings will be held within the symposium, which will
last until May 4. According to the director of the Armenian-Turkish
Relations Research Center at the Ataturk University, Erol Kurkcuoglu,
the symposium will feature documents relating to the history of the
Armenian-Turkish relations.
Armenia and Turkey signed the "Protocol on the establishment of
diplomatic relations" and the "Protocol on the development of bilateral
relations" in Zurich on October 10. Following Turkey's unwillingness
to ratify the protocols and attempts to link ratification with the
Karabakh conflict made President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan sign a
decree on suspension of the procedure of ratification of the Armenian
-Turkish protocols. After the protocols were removed from agenda of
the Turkish parliament in August 2011 as the term of the parliament
of the previous convocation expired, in some two months they were
returned to the agenda of the Turkish national assembly. However,
the term of their ratification has not been determined yet.
