YEREVAN, MARCH 22, ARMENPRESS: The process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations has not been failed, chairman of the NA’s Science, Education, Culture, Youth and Sports Affairs Standing Committee, member of the Republican faction Artak Davtyan said today.
According to him, it is a very complicated process and postponements and difficulties are coming forth. He said the process continues, and probably Turkey will ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols.
“Armenia continues its initiating policy in this process and now it is the turn of Turkey to do corresponding steps,” Artak Davtyan pointed out. He noted that the whole international community waits for the constructive steps of Turkey. A. Davtyan reiterated the position of the Turkish side according to which the Armenian parliament will ratify the protocols after Turkey.
Referring to the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Davtyan noted that the civilized world does not link the Genocide issue with the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations. According to him, parliaments of different countries will continue the adoption and discussion of the resolutions on recognition of the genocide. “Sooner or later Turkey must recognize the committed Genocide. A country which is striving to consolidate democracy, become member of the EU, must recognize it,” Davtyan pointed out.
