    RA PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS -UNJUSTIFIED MOVE

    Rapprochement protocols might serve Armenia's interests, according
    to Republic party board member Suren Surenyants.

    "I believe, Armenia's political system might see significant progress
    in case of Armenia-Turkey border opening. However, presidential
    statement on suspension of Protocols ratification put an end to any
    possibility of progress; no excessive intellectual potential being
    necessary to preserve power."

    Surenyants characterized presidential statement on ratification
    suspension as unjustified move, fraught with negative consequences
    for Armenia. "According to Turkish Foreign Minister, Karabakh conflict
    settlement will be the main issue on the agenda of his oncoming visit
    to Russia. Clearly, Armenia will not be involved in Turkey-Russia
    negotiations on the issue," he emphasized.

    Dwelling on international recognition of Genocide, Surenyants noted
    it would be more reasonable if the issue was withdrawn from Armenia's
    foreign policy agenda. "Currently, the issue has become, with our
    permission, an object for superpowers to gamble with," he said.

    Commenting on the role of Russia in regional issues, Surenyants noted
    that Russia has to maintain status quo to retain its influence.

    "Armenian authorities must consider requesting withdrawal of Russian
    military bases from RA, our safety guarantor being not Russian military
    men, but normalizing ties with our neighbors."

    As for internal political issues, Surenyants stated that in case
    of early elections, ANC will come out in a united front; in case of
    regular elections, participation of separate political forces within
    ANC can't be ruled out.

    When questioned by reporters on the failure of ANC to raise the issue
    of violation of Javahk Armenians rights in Georgia, he responded that
    the opposition should first of all struggle to get the problems inside
    Armenia solved. "The issue of Javahk Armenians rights can be resolved
    through their integration and Georgia's democratization," he stated.
