    RA POLITICAL FORCES CONSIDER NORMALIZATION STANDS TO CONTINUE

    Official Yerevan should submit a note that Turkey is expelled from
    OSCE Minsk Group, as its inconsistent statements and actions prevent
    Karabakh conflict settlement, Head of "Heritage" party Stepan Safaryan
    stated at the April 30 briefing.

    According to him, Yerevan should make an official statement, saying
    Armenia's position on Kars Treaty. Speaking of Armenia-Turkey
    reconciliation, the MP said Yerevan has to withdraw its signature
    from the Protocols and launch a new process on the establishment
    of diplomatic relations and border opening with Ankara. "If Ankara
    speaks in the language of preconditions once again, Yerevan will have
    to raise the issue of compensations and borders," he noted.

    The Head of the Rule of Law Party (OYK) Heghine Bisharyan emphasized
    Yerevan should continue "what it started, as had no such a beneficial
    process since its independence". She expressed confidence that sooner
    or later Turkey will recognize Armenian Genocide. Once Turkey stops
    speaking with Armenia the language of preconditions, the dialogue
    will be underway.

    Besides, ARFD Secretary Artyusha Shahbazyan deems that RA Authorities'
    decision on the suspension of Protocols' ratification did not bring
    about real changes in Ankara-Yerevan relations, as the documents may
    be put on the parliamentary agenda and ratified any time.

    Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Secretary Aram Safaryan reckons that by
    this move Yerevan gave Ankara a chance to reconsider and establish
    relations without preconditions. "If Ankara comes to senses and
    ratifies the Protocols without preconditions, Yerevan will do the
    same. In case Turkey continues to strenuously defend Azerbaijan's
    interests, Armenia will not ratify the documents," Safaryan stated.

    Member of Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Artak Zakaryan considers
    positive the fact that normalization process pulled Armenia and
    Diaspora together even more.
