Recently signed Protocols on normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties are real documents, Stepan Grigoryan, Head of Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation, told a news conference in Yerevan. «Opposition and experts stress time and again that Protocols containing a clause on territorial integrity do not say anything on a nation's right to self-determination. It is necessary to realize that the given Protocols are bilateral documents, and it does not simply make sense to raise a question on self-determination principle,» political scientist said.

Touching upon mutual recognition of Armenian-Turkish border, Grigroryan noted that Armenia, being a UN member, automatically agreed to respect all UN member states' territorial integrity.
