Either Armenia or Diaspora has no common approach to Armenian-Turkish ProtocolsSeptember 29, 2009 - 17:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Either in Armenia or in the Armenian Diaspora there is no single approach to the Protocols on normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations, Yeghia Jerejian, spokesman of the Gnchak Social Democratic Party and a former member of the Lebanese Parliament told a news conference in Yerevan today, responding to a PanARMENIAN.Net question. "Many people in Armenia and Diaspora are worried that these Protocols will only harm our interests. Such concerns are explained by the mistrust towards the current leadership of Armenia ", Hnchak member said. "One thing is clear for us: we are against the signing of these Protocols, if they imply concessions by the Armenian part in terms of the recognition of Armenian Genocide, the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. Besides, we are not ready to renounce territorial claims against Turkey," Yeghia Jerejian said. He added that after Serzh Sargsyan clarifies some issues of Armenian-Turkish relations at the forthcoming meeting with the Armenian community of Lebanon, they will present their concerns.
