Armenia-Turkey reconciliation did not achieve a stalemate, Leader of
Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan stated at March 15 briefing
with journalists.
"Turkey should ratify the Protocols within reasonable timeframe and
we give Ankara time till April 24. Thereafter, if it does not ratify
the Protocols...," Tsarukyan said meaningfully. Armenia will not make
any concession on Armenia-Turkey normalization, Karabakh conflict or
Genocide recognition.
"If they want to walk out of the process by tricks or exert pressure on
us, they will fail. The ruling coalition repeatedly stated that unless
Turkey ratifies the Protocols, we will not do so. They closed the
border and should open it themselves. If they do not want to do it, we
will not accept preconditions either. We are men of our words and are
ready for the establishment of relations without any preconditions,"
Tsarukyan emphasized, recalling his party's stance on Armenia-Turkey
relations. "Prosperous Armenia supports the normalization of relations
with neighbors, establishment of diplomatic ties and border opening."
