Within the framework of the visit to Rostov-on-Don, President Serzh
Sargsyan visited the Armenian Church, the historic museum and paid
tribute to the Armenian soldiers of Myasnikyan region killed in the
Great Patriotic War.
President Sargsyan had meetings with the leadership of Rostov and
representatives of the local Armenian community.
Speaking about the current political and economic situation in Armenia,
President Sargsyan said: "You know that we have suspended the process
of ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols. Its main reason
is clear: Turkey is not ready to ratify the protocols today, and it
constantly brings forward new preconditions to justify the failure of
the process. Furthermore, it tries to penetrate into a sphere, where
it obviously has nothing to do. I mean the settlement of the Karabakh
issue. At this moment we have nothing to talk with an unreliable and
untrustworthy partner, who constantly breaks the agreements reached."
"Time has shown that we did the maximum we could for the last closed
border of Europe to open, while Turkey is not ready for it. As for the
Karabakh issue, we have clearly stated that we are not going to bargain
over the right of the people of Karabakh to self-determination,"
President Sargsyan stated.
