Armenia should declare failure of normalization process with Turkey


Armenia should immediately declare the failure of normalization process with Turkey, according to <b>Kiro Manoyan</b>, director of ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office.

“The longer the process lasts the more likely Turkey is to impose its conditions on Armenia,” he told a news conference in Yerevan on Friday.

As to Armenian President’s speech at Chatham House, Mr. Manoyan said that Serzh Sargsyan had to set terms for ratification of the Protocols by the Turkish parliament. He ruled out that the RA National Assembly can ratify the documents ahead of Turkey.

Dwelling on Karabakh conflict resolution, Mr. Manoyan said no breakthrough is expected in the near future.

Asked about the possibility of adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the U.S. Congress, he said “it’s strong enough.”
