Armenian expert advises Turkish MP to check their archivesNovember 21, 2011 - 16:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On October 21, 2009, Armenian-Turkish protocols were discussed in Turkish Parliament, turkologist Ruben Melkonyan said. “If Boskir does not know that protocols have already been discussed in Turkish Parliament, he would better check their archives. It will be naïve from the Armenian side to expect any developments due to Turkey’s unconstructive position in the issue,” the turkologist told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter commenting on Turkish MP Mustafa Boskir's statement regarding Armenian-Turkish protocols. Ruben Melkonyan also noted that due to Turkish stance on the issue Ankara more than once was urged to give various explanations. Armenian-Turkish normalization process started on RA President Serzh Sargsyan’s initiative in fall 2008. On October 10, 2009 Armenian and Turkish Foreign Ministers signed protocols expected to be ratified by parliaments of both states.
