YEREVAN, 20 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. Turkey is trying to manipulate the
international community with its policy.
This is what Deputy of the faction of the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) of the National Assembly, Co-Chairman of the EU-Armenia
Parliamentary Cooperation Committee Samvel Farmanyan said during
the 15th session of the EU-Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation
Committee."To emphasize, I must recall that when the President of
Armenia initiated the normalization of relations with Turkey in 2008,
which foreign presses and political circles later referred to as
"football diplomacy", at the time, the international community
was supporting that process. We all remember seeing high-ranking
representatives of the EU, the Russian Federation, the United States
and other countries present at the signing of the Armenia-Turkey
Protocols in Zurich on October 10, 2009. Unfortunately, those
Protocols weren't ratified due to Turkey's destructive policy,"
Farmanyan mentioned, as "Armenpress" reports.
Farmanyan said anyone who reads the texts of the Armenia-Turkey
Protocols will see that it is written that Armenia and Turkey, as
two subjects of international law, are committed by those Protocols
to establish diplomatic relations. Farmanyan recalled that then U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and high-ranking EU officials had
stated that linking normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations to
the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict would mean disturbing
the sides, not helping each other. "However, Turkey disrespected its
signature and set forth preconditions, and the Protocols weren't
ratified. The illegally closed border remains closed on one side,
and there are no perspectives of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations," Farmanyan concluded.
