    STATEMENT BY THE POLITICAL COALITION

    JOINT STATEMENT BY THE POLITICAL COUNCILS OF THE PARTIES FORMING THE
    POLITICAL COALITION IN THE RA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

    In the last two years, the RA President has taken consistent steps
    toward establishing and developing Turkish-Armenian relations without
    preconditions with support from the political majority of the RA
    National Assembly.

    The US, the Russian Federation, France and Switzerland actively
    contributed to the process and many countries of the world gave
    a positive response to the initiative, stressing its exceptional
    importance for establishing stability in the region and solving
    current issues through civilized dialogue.

    Armenia's constructive efforts and the international community's
    expectations clashed with Turkey's inconsistent and dodging positions,
    its ongoing policy on setting preconditions which led the process of
    ratifying the Turkey-Armenia Protocols signed on 2009 October 10 in
    Zurich in a reasonable timeframe into a labyrinth.

    The majority of the RA National Assembly does not accept Turkey's
    announcements, particularly the latest announcements by Prime
    Minister Erdogan according to which the Turkish parliament continues
    to directly link the ratification of the Turkey-Armenia Protocols with
    the settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Taking into account that Turkey's refusal to meet the commitments
    of ratifying the Protocols without preconditions and in a reasonable
    timeframe makes it senseless to continue the process of ratification
    at the RA National Assembly, the majority deems it necessary to decree
    a moratorium and, as an issue of necessity, take the discussion of
    the issue out of the agenda of the National Assembly's four-day
    sessions until the Turkish side is ready to continue the process
    without preconditions.
