25-year Kars agreement became void in 1946
"October 21 statement of Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu proved RA-Turkey protocols contain preconditions, with a stipulation for obliging RA government to sign Kars agreement as the most significant among them," New Times Party Leader Aram Karapetyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

According to Karapetyan, Kars and Moscow agreements were concluded for 25-year term. Kars agreement was found void, yet Moscow agreement remains effective, as prolonged by agreement parties. He also added that Kars agreement itself contains no stipulations on agreement term, instead, the information was specified in agreement-related secret protocols. "In 1925, RSFSR Ambassador to Turkey Vinogradov issued a diplomatic note, insisting on denunciation of 1921 Russian-Turkish Treaty, urging Turkey to restore Armenian border. "Soviet Russia can't wait 25 years," the Ambassador noted."
