ARFD to continue anti-protocol ratification campaign
Despite ARFD's being a minority party in {arliament, we'll continue the anti-protocol ratification campaign to make society's voice heard by MPs, says ARFD Hay Dat Bureau Director Giro Manoyan.
"Reasonable timeframe for Armenia is February-March 2010, prior to the 95th anniversary of Genocide. But Turkey will find some reason, proposing Armenians to continue negotiations," he told today a news conference in Yerevan. All Turkey needs is to demonstrate the world a normalization process to avoid superpowers' possible pressures, Manoyan finds.
"By saying reasonable timeframes, Turkey means Azerbaijan's benefits from Karabakh peace talks," he said, ruling out the possibility of any progress unless Baku declares Nagorno Karabakh a separate state.
