GIRO MANOYAN. "RECALLING ARMENIA-TURKEY PROTOCOLS IS A RIGHT STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT NOT ENOUGH"
February 17 2015
"Firstly, these protocols must not be signed, after signing they
neutralized by recalling the signatures by Armenia, this did not happen
too", said ARF Bureau member Giro Manoyan, in the conversation with
Aravot.am, referring to recalling of the Armenia-Turkey protocols. He
thinks that recalling of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols is a right
step in the right direction, but not enough. "Some substantiations
are required showing that the President is going for this move, about
which he wrote in his letter, he can also recall his signature and thus
neutralize these protocols completely. Keeping in this way, in other
words, as signed, even though withdrawn from the National Assembly
agenda, we still leave it as a lever in the hands of Turkey." Giro
Manoyan noted that Serzh Sargsyan had talked about it during the
Armenia-Diaspora Conference held in September 2014, when he was
called to recall the signatures, as well as during his speech at the
UN General Assembly. "Naturally, the Pan Armenian Declaration had its
impact on Serzh Sargsyan's decision, but this move will be complete
when Serzh Sargyan will recall the signature." Recall that President
Serzh Sargsyan sent a letter dated February 16 to the Speaker of the
National Assembly Galust Sahakyan notifying about his decision to
recall the Armenia-Turkey protocols.
