The process of Armenian-Turkish rapprochement has already got irreversible and the situation will persist, no matter the protocols are ratified or not, according to Galust Sahakyan, head of RPA parliamentary group.

“In my opinion, the Armenian-Turkish border can be opened before ratification of protocols,” Mr. Sahakyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

Asked to comment whether Armenia can withdraw its signature from the protocols, he said that “when the time comes and if necessary, Armenia will do so.”

Yet, he described RA President Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to Washington as very fruitful. “The visit united the Armenianhood and I think that now our nation is united as never,” Mr. Sahakyan said.
