"There is no change concerning the Armenian-Turkish protocols. They are
in the same condition as they were three years ago. I mean that they
exist. The comments that they are in fact dead do not correspond to
reality, because they exist legally," Giro Manoyan, Director of the
ARF bureau's Hay Dat and political affairs office, told reporters
in Yerevan.
According to him, Turkey says that work is done towards the protocols,
but it is not true either.
"Our opinion has not changed regarding the protocols - they are bad
for Armenia, and three years are more than enough for them to cease
to exist legally. One of the ways to achieve it is to withdraw our
signature from the protocols," Manoyan said, adding that if Armenia
withdraws its signature from the protocols, the entire world will
understand that Turkey is to blame for the current situation with
protocols.
The politician noted that possible ratification by Turkey of one of
the protocols - the one which mentions no deadline - poses danger
for Armenia.
"In that case, if Armenia does something, it will be viewed as a
short-sighted move, and if not, Armenia will lose the reputation of a
"good partner," he stressed.
