The process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations has conventionally "frozen", Aleq Enigomshyan, Director of the "Monte Melkonyan" Foundation told a roundtable on "Current Situation of the Armenian-Turkish Conflict", initiated by the "Sardarapat" movement in Yerevan. 



"Apparently, signed protocols on normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations will not take effect until Armenia makes concessions in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict talks. This was repeatedly stated by senior Turkish officials, Aleq Enigomshyan said. He added that Armenia expects serious progress "in the Karabakh front". 



Representative of the "Sardarapat" movement Jirair Sefilian announced today that the real problem is that the Armenian leadership is trying to show that the majority of citizens support the signed protocols, while, according to Mr. Serfilian, they do not.



"We must mobilize all forces to ensure that the people expressed their real position in respect to normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations," he said.



 According to a member of the "Sardarapat" organizing committee Tigran Khzmalyan , Armenia has a chance to analyze the current situation. "The ruling elite of Armenia should make this process to served our national interests," Tigran Khzmalyan said.
