YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: The speech of the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan at the House of Representatives in Cyprus for the first time presents all the reasons of failure of the Armenian-Turkish protocols. Political analyst Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said speaking to Armenpress that if till today the RA President and different officials or political analysts were making the main accent on forwarding of pre-conditions by Turkey after this speech the political reasons of failure of the protocols have become clear. “I was very glad to hear that the biggest threat is not the forwarding of pre-conditions by Turkey but its gradual passing to New Ottomanism policy,” the political analyst said, adding that the “New Ottomanism” is a dangerous phenomenon not only for us but for the people that suffered the brutality of the policy carried out during the Ottoman Empire.

Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said today it is impossible to revive the Armenian-Turkish relations as the Turkish authorities adopted “New Ottomanism” policy.

He also said during the recent 6-7 months great determination has been noticed in the speeches of Armenian President, which is very important.
