Armenia-Turkey protocols are on the verge of cancellation, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader Vahan Hovhannesyan stated.

According to him, Turkey’s aim in starting reconciliation process was to saw dissent between Armenia and Diaspora, with the final aim of stirring disputes inside Diaspora. Weakening of Armenian nation is the main goal of Turkey, Vahan Hovhannesyan stressed.

At the same time, he noted Armenia’s withdrawal of its Protocol signature to be only way out of the situation. “Still, this doesn’t mean we have to stop negotiations with Turkey, but that the rules dictated to us should be changed. As Vahan Hovhannesyan stated, Armenian-Turkish border opening without Protocols ratification is not feasible. However he didn’t preclude the possibility of a new stage in Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, which would not involve ratification.
