The only obstacle between Yerevan and Ankara is Baku: political expert
09:26, 27 February 2015
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: The Director of the Regional Studies Center and the political expert Richard Giragosian is not surprised by the fact that the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan decided to withdraw the Armenian-Turkish protocols from the national Assembly. According to him, especially ahead of the April 24, such step was expectable. Giragosian told Armenpress that independent from the fact that the Armenian-Turkish protocols are considered to be “dead”, the process of the normalization of the relations between the two countries still breaths.
“We should state that the normalization of the relations does not depend already on the Armenian-Turkish protocols. Being behind the stage, nevertheless, there is an opportunity to restart the negotiations without ratification of the protocols. With regards to the protocols, though they are dead already”, - said Giragosian, adding that there is always hope to restart the relations.
“There is only one obstacle on the way of normalization of the relations. The only hindrance between Yerevan and Ankara is Baku and in many cases it is an insult to the Turkish government, as Baku puts restrictions on the normalization of the relations with Armenia”, - said Giragosian.
