    AN ACHIEVEMENT OF ARMENIAN DIPLOMACY

    This is an achievement of our diplomacy, Turkologist Ruben Safrastyan
    said, commenting on the agreement between Armenia and Turkey to start
    internal political consultations on the two protocols - the "Protocol
    on the establishment of diplomatic relations" and the "Protocol on
    the development of bilateral relations." However, he refrains from
    calling it victory, because there can be no victories in diplomacy,
    there are agreements that can be profitable or not for us.

    According to the Director of the Oriental Studies Institute, the
    documents are of great importance to Armenia. Why are they positive
    and why are they important? Ruben Safrastyan emphasized two main
    points. "First, the most important achievement is that the Turkish
    diplomacy actually refused from its longstanding policy of linking
    the normalization of relations to the Karabakh issue. The documents
    make no reference to the Karabakh issue. The second important issue
    is that they includes no reference to preventing Armenia's efforts
    targeted at the recognition of the Armenian Genocide."

    "Our diplomacy should keep to this style. In that case we'll manage
    to develop our relations with Turkey without preconditions," Ruben
    Safrastyan said.
