    ANC: ANKARA DOES NOT HAVE TO HURRY

    Turkey has got all that it wanted from the Armenian-Turkish process
    an does not have to hurry, the leader of the opposition Armenian
    National Congress (ANC) Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated at a rally in
    Yerevan on March 1.

    According to him, all the talks about the "alleged stalemate" in the
    Armenia-Turkey normalization process are ungrounded. "Another matter
    is that it is the collapse of the so-called policy of initiatives by
    Serzh Sargsyan," Ter-Petrosyan.

    "By renouncing the Armenian Genocide, Serzh Sargsyan hoped to
    legitimize himself somehow and relieve the international pressure
    concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. But, as we can see
    today, the situation is quite opposite now," Ter-Petrosyan said.

    He pointed out five equally urgent problems facing the Armenia people:
    Armenian-Turkish relations, Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, restoration
    of democracy, rule of law and end to corruption.

    However, the international community gives priority to the first two
    tasks, as it is pursuing its own interests in the region.

    Specifically, the international community underlines the need for
    resolving the problems posing a threat to regional security.

    "The only thing we expected from European agencies is an impartial
    appraisal of the state of democracy in Armenia, but they give priority
    to the resolution of the first two problems. We have to put up with the
    fact that they will openly speak of human rights in Armenia only after
    the Nagorno-Karabakh problem has been resolved and Armenian-Turkish
    relations normalized. It is good that the resolution of the two
    problems meets our people's interests," Ter-Petrosyan said.

    The ANC leader also said that the ANC must make efforts for Armenia
    to sustain the minimal losses from the present foreign political
    situation.
