Ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols to become a tool of pressure on RA

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey and Azerbaijan are jointly working against Armenia, according to Yuri Navoyan, chairman of Russian-Armenian Commonwealth NGO.



"The Protocols contain Turkey's preconditions, these being recognition of Turkey's present-day borders and the Armenian Genocide issue.



Ratification of the Protocols will oblige Armenia with one more precondition - resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Navoyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



He emphasized that the Protocols are the most complicated way to establish diplomatic relations. "If Turkey really wanted to normalize relations with Armenia, it would have chosen another way. Protocols are a service we render to Switzerland, which is instructed by superpowers.



Neither Yerevan nor Ankara were active participants in reconciliation talks," he said.



Navoyan said that the 3-hour protraction of the signing means that some amendments, which satisfied Turkey but displeased Armenia, were introduced in the document. "Armenia's behavior was unworthy," he said, adding that the Protocols are the reflection of the Treaty of Kars.
