GIRO MANOYAN ABOUT THE LONGEST ARMENIAN-TURKISH HANDSHAKING AND DAVUTOGLU'S VISIT
December 10 2013
Giro Manoyan, representative of ARF Armenian Cause and Political
Affairs, is convinced that Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's
upcoming visit to Armenia will not affect the Armenian-Turkish
relations. "Nothing should be expected. His visit to Armenia has
nothing to do with the Armenian-Turkish relations. His decision to
attend the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Council, to some extent,
is due the attempts of Turkey to create an illusion, they are trying
to show that there is some process in the Armenian-Turkish relations.
But, in reality, there is nothing, they just are trying to create an
impression", - said Mr. Manoyan to Aravot.am. He does not share the
circulating views that Davutoglu's visit to Armenia is also expressing
Turkey's concern about weakening the positions in the region.
Mr. Manoyan does not think that Turkish foreign minister's visit is
also conditioned with RF President Vladimir Putin's recent statement
regarding strengthening its position in the Transcaucasus. As said by
Mr. Manoyan, Davutoglu's visit will not affect the Armenian- Turkish
protocols. "It should affect to the extent that our authorities would
once again remember that there is no progress, and to recall signatures
from the protocols." He also said that, prior to Davutoglu's visit, the
publication in the Turkish "Sabah" newspaper regarding the arrangements
on returning 2 liberated territories was also an attempt of creating
an imitation in the progress of the Armenian-Turkish relations. "There
are preconditions from the Turkish side in Armenian-Turkish relations,
but they do not talk about this...
And, generally, this is not a visit to Armenia rather than attending
a conference that will be held in Armenia, just like the President of
Iran attends the UN General Assembly meeting in New York, but this
does not mean that the Iranian-American relations would be a matter
of discussion." Regarding the longest handshaking between Armenian
and Turkish actors in Tbilisi, yesterday, Mr. Manoyan said, "People
can go for anything just to appear in the Guinness Book, however,
it has nothing to do with Davutoglu's visit, and the Armenian-
Turkish relations."
