  • Manoyan: Armenia should leave "football diplomacy" process today

    According to Giro Manoyan, Armenia should leave "football diplomacy"
    process just today

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan's meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama was efficient for
    the Turks and met their interests. Giro Manoyan, Head of ARFD Hay Dat
    (Armenian Cause) Yerevan Office, made such an observation at a
    December 10 press conference. In his words, the fact that B. Obama
    praised Turkey's policy and R. Erdogan again spoke about the necessity
    of a progress in the Nagorno Karabakh issue is evidence that Turkey
    this time also managed to make its view acceptable for the U.S.

    According to G. Manoyan, in consideration that Turkey continues
    conditioning its relations with Armenia by the Nagorno Karabakh
    settlement the RA authorities should declare the failure of the
    Armenian-Turkish negotiations just today. The ARFD figure added that
    unless Armenia just today leaves the process called "football
    diplomacy," it will be difficult to stop the process later.

    G. Manoyan also mentioned that to prevent ratification of the
    Armenian-Turkish protocols in the RA National Assembly the ARFD
    faction members will work with the majority trying to influence their
    position. "The issue of the protocols should be of no less
    significance for them than the package of tax amendments to which they
    opposed," G. Manoyan said. As to the Constitutional Court, according
    to him, there is no necessity of mass actions to influence that
    instance. "CC should make a decision on the basis of the law and not
    on the circumstance that 100 thousand people hold an action of
    protest," G. Manoyan concluded.
