    NA FACTIONS SHARE THE SAME OPINION - THE SIGNALS OF REGULATION OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS MUST COME FROM TURKEY

    ARMENPRESS
    APRIL 30, 2010
    YEREVAN

    Heghine Bisharyan, head of NA "Orinats Yerkir" faction attaches
    great importance to suspension of the ratification process of
    Armenian-Turkish protocols by Armenia from the viewpoint of displaying
    a principality. H. Bisharyan said today at a briefing in the National
    Assembly that Armenia has repeatedly mentioned the process must move
    forward exclusively without preconditions, but the preconditions
    voiced by the Turkish party resulted in such a decision of Armenia.

    "Armenia will wait for some period of time till Turkey definitely shows
    that it is ready to continue the process without preconditions,"
    H. Bisharyan said. According to her, steps directed toward
    establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations of such a level had never
    been registered; hence "Orinats Yerkir" party highly assesses Armenian
    President's acts directed toward the establishment of bilateral
    relations. H. Bisharyan is sure that there will come a time, when
    Turkey itself will recognize the Armenian Genocide and will be ready
    to ratify the protocols without preconditions.

    Member of "Heritage" faction Armen Martirosyan suggests that in near
    future the Armenian-Turkish protocols will again be involved in the
    agenda of 4 day sessions of the National Assembly. "Turkey must be the
    first to undertake steps for opening the borders unilaterally. The
    Armenian-Turkish process must move forward exclusively without
    preconditions," the representative of the opposition said.

    Aram Safaryan, secretary of "Prosperous Armenia" faction, said he
    is of the opinion that the suspension of the ratification process
    of Armenian-Turkish relations enables Turkey to reconsider its own
    position of proposing preconditions and to establish diplomatic
    relations in a reasonable timeframe.

    "If in near future this approach prevails in Turkey, then I am
    sure that the ratification process of the protocols will run in the
    Armenian parliament smoothly. The protocols will never be included
    in the agenda of 4 day sessions if Turkey continues to yield to the
    pressures of Azerbaijan for extorting unilateral concessions from
    Armenia in Karabakh issue," Aram Safaryan said.

    According to him, in near future the signal of regulation of
    Armenian-Turkish relations must be voiced by Turkey itself. "The
    international community - the USA, the European Union, Russia have
    no doubt that the negative signals of regulation of relations do not
    come from Armenia. In this regard the calls of the international
    community will first of all be directed to Turkey," the member of
    the NA "Prosperous Armenia" faction said.

    Member of the NA Republican faction Artak Zakaryan said that
    the Armenian-Turkish protocols do not contain negative elements -
    preconditions, so there cannot be an issue of reconsideration of the
    protocols. "The ratification of the protocols was suspended, as the
    Turkish authorities started to voice preconditions. We are waiting
    for distinct steps by Turkey, only after which the process will move
    forward and the relations will be regulated," he noted. According to
    A. Zakaryan, the Armenian-Turkish process has given new impetus to
    Diaspora to join the resources and efforts once again, as a result
    of which currently the issue of recognition of the Armenian Genocide
    is being actively discussed in parliaments of many countries.
