YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: The Director of the Regional Studies
Center and the political expert Richard Giragosian is not surprised by
the fact that the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan
decided to withdraw the Armenian-Turkish protocols from the national
Assembly. According to him, especially ahead of the April 24, such
step was expectable. Giragosian told Armenpress that independent from
the fact that the Armenian-Turkish protocols are considered to be
"dead", the process of the normalization of the relations between
the two countries still breaths.
"We should state that the normalization of the relations does not
depend already on the Armenian-Turkish protocols. Being behind
the stage, nevertheless, there is an opportunity to restart the
negotiations without ratification of the protocols. With regards
to the protocols, though they are dead already", - said Giragosian,
adding that there is always hope to restart the relations.
"There is only one obstacle on the way of normalization of the
relations. The only hindrance between Yerevan and Ankara is Baku and
in many cases it is an insult to the Turkish government, as Baku puts
restrictions on the normalization of the relations with Armenia", -
said Giragosian.
