S. Demirtchyan: “Turkey pursued two goals”
Leader of People's Party of Armenia (HzhK) Stepan Demirtchyan is not surprised at Serzh Sargsyan's decision to suspend the ratification of Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
"Armenia took the wrong path from the very beginning by signing a document full of preconditions. Obviously, Serzh Sargsyan's decision shows that the Armenian side does not intend to withdraw from the reconciliation process. Before the president's address, both Serzh Sargsyan and National Assembly announced that Armenia would not ratify the documents until Turkey did," Stepan Demirtchyan told A1+.
Did Armenian authorities need a year and a half to realize that the protocols carry preconditions?
In rely the HZhK Leader said, "It was vivid from the beginning. Turkey made use of the process to suspend the genocide recognition and assume a key role in the Karabakh conflict settlement."
"I don't think that America, Russia or France were taken aback by Mr. Sargsyan's decision" he added.
