Prosperous Armenia supports Armenia-Turkey Protocols ratificationOctober 29, 2009 - 12:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Prosperous Armenia (PA) supports Armenia-Turkey Protocols ratification, PA Spokesman Khachik Galstyan told a news conference in Yerevan. PA believes there are several scenarios of RA-Turkey relations' development: "Armenia will be the first to ratify Protocols, proving its firm intention to normalize relations. The second scenario would be Armenia's ratification of protocols after or simultaneously with Turkey. Another scenario would be refusal to ratify protocols or their unilateral ratification, which is unlikely," Galstyan stated, adding that Turkey would be the one to reap financial and economic benefits from ratification.He noted that Armenia's position in rapprochement process is correct and justified. "Should Turkey delay ratification process, we'll naturally be opposed to the fact. If Turkey persists in linking Karabakh conflict to rapprochement, PA believes Turkish parliament should openly announce it. Then, Armenia's actions will be adequate to Turkey's statements," PA Spokesman emphasized.
