September 11 2014
The Head of ARF Bureau for Armenian Cause and Political Affairs, Giro
Manoyan, is sure that the Armenian-Turkish relations are not noteworthy
because of Azerbaijan's stance. "Armenian - Turkish negotiations are
not moving forwards so far in terms of the Azerbaijan stance, but as
it is seen from Serzh Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in intermediation of
Putin and the planned meeting by France on October, the intermediating
countries trying to do everything to bring the possibility of the
war to minimum," said Mr. Manoyan, today, in the "Pastark" club. He
considered Erdogan's taking the office of the president during the
presidential elections in Turkey and the participation by Armenia's
Foreign Affairs Minister in the ceremony of transfer of power an
important event in the region. "After the ceremony, our minister
conveyed a letter by the President of Armenia, which invites the newly
president of Turkey to attend the April 24th memorial procession. It
seems there was some approach here that was not published, but it was
a hint on reviving the Armenian-Turkish protocols. For which we said
that the visit could not be applauded."
According to him, the Turkish President is trying to move without still
implementing the constitutional amendments and expanding the powers
of the President as if those changes are made. "It is not right to
expect major changes in the relations with Armenia by this president,
because he has already said that unless the Karabakh conflict is
settled, Turkey would not establish relations with Armenia."
