    TURKISH SENIOR OFFICIAL: NO ADVANCES WILL BE IN ANKARA-YEREVAN RELATIONS

    Trend

    Azerbaijan

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Adviser on Eurasia
    Geybulla Ramazanoglu believes although the Armenian President sent
    the Armenian-Turkish protocol to the parliament for ratification,
    there will be no advances in the Ankara-Yerevan relations unless the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is resolved.

    "No advances will be in the Ankara-Yerevan relations, without solution
    to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem," he told Trend News over the telephone
    today. "Sargsyan's this step is another political maneuver."

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has today tasked its administration
    to send the Armenian-Turkish protocol to the parliament for
    ratification in the coming days.

    The Armenian President informed about this in his speech at the
    Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, the Mediamax
    special correspondent reported from London.

    Feb.9, Sargsyan addressed to his Turkish Counterpart Abdullah Gul,
    urging Ankara to respect the reached agreements.

    The official said even if the Armenian Parliament ratifies the
    protocols, Ankara is hardly to take the same step.

    "Sending the protocols to the parliament, the Armenian president
    wants to clarify Ankara's next steps," he said.

    Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers, Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
    Nalbandian, signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich Oct. 10.

    After his official visit to Moscow, Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Tayyip Erdogan said in Ankara that although some claims that the
    Turkey-Armenia relations are not related to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem, this process is directly related to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem.

    Jan.12, 2009, the Armenian Constitutional Court approved the
    compliance of the Ankara-Yerevan protocols with the Armenian
    Constitution. However, after the approval the court reported that
    creation of a joint commission to study the 1915 events is unnecessary
    and Armenian will never refuse from the demand to recognize the
    genocide.

    Erdogan warned that if the Armenian Constitutional Court does not
    reverse its decision on the protocols, the relations between Ankara
    and Yerevan may erode.
