Turkey does not seek to ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols, Professor Ruben Safrastyan, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of RA NAS told a news conference in Yerevan.

According to him, Turkey by its diplomatic steps drove the Armenian-Turkish process to a deadlock. "If this process does not find its logical conclusion, sooner or later a new Armenian-Turkish process will start," Safrastyan said.

"It depends on Turkey, whether the Armenian-Turkish process to get out of the deadlock or not," Ruben Safrastyan said. To process out of the impasse, Ankara should take steps to demonstrate its interest in continuation of that process, the expert concluded.
