Turkey’s 18 years’ stance towards Armenia remains unchanged


Just as a number of political observers predicted, stance towards Armenia taken by Turkey since 1992 remained unchanged, Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group secretary Aram Safaryan said.

“Still, given regional developments, Armenia thought establishment of constructive dialogue with Turkey possible, to which end RA-Turkey Protocols were signed,” he told a news conference.

As Safaryan pointed out, there is a chance to establish Armenia-Turkey dialogue in case parliaments of both countries agree to ratify Protocols without preconditions.


“Yet, Ankara will take no steps to contradict Baku’s interests, the latter being a decisive factor in Turkey’s decision making process,” Aram Safaryan stressed, adding that international community should be kept aware of true reasons hampering Armenia-Turkey reconciliation process.
