Have we digressed?
Armen Aivazian, Director of the "Ararat" Center for Strategic Research, thinks Armenian people have digressed from the core issue in debates over Armenian-Turkish relations.
"Armenia's foreign policy has ignored the Armenian Cause for 17 years, this is the core issue," says Mr. Aivazian.
"Today they make conclusions on the Zurich meeting and bring different reasons for the delay of the signing of the bilateral Protocols. But the reasons lie in Armenia's policy towards Turkey which sooner or later would lead to this destructive outcome - signing of anti-Armenian Protocols," says Armen Aivazian.
"Turkey is not excluded to ratify the Protocols but the country will try to benefit from the documents to the maximum extorting more concessions from Armenia, especially in view of the Karabakh conflict.
The Protocols carry some inadmissible provisions regarding the recognition of borders, the territorial wholeness of the third country in the region, etc."
