/PanARMENIAN.Net/ By accepting Armenian-Turkish Protocols, Armenia
not only renounces its territorial claims but also misses the
chance of achieving historical justice, ex-Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan announced today in Yerevan, during a discussion devoted to
Armenian-Turkish relations. "Many of world's countries have territorial
disputes, but that doesn't prevent them from maintaining friendly
ties and having open borders," he noted.
With regard to Protocol clause concerning intergovernmental commission
of Armenian and Turkish historians, ex-Foreign Minister said that
it simply ruled out possibility of conducting an open dialogue. "It
turns out that our government itself is getting involved in Armenian
Genocide denial process. Protocols haven't yet been signed, whereas
Turkey is considering possibilities of annulling Armenian Genocide
recognition Protocols in several countries' parliaments. "Armenian
authorities meet all those demands half-way, but it's not yet clear
whether or not border will be opened," Vardan Oskanyan added.
