Ankara still undecided on Protocols

There is still a possibility that Turkey will ratify the Protocols on normalization of relations with Armenia in February or March, according to Karen Bekaryan, chairman of European Integration NGO.

“Turkey is undecided on the fate of Protocols yet,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

“Meanwhile, the Armenian Genocide resolution will be a new political leverage on Turkey,” Mr. Bekaryan said, adding that he sees nothing wrong in Armenia’s ratifying the Protocols ahead of Turkey.

As to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s speech in Chatham House, the expert said it proved that Armenia is full of initiative in regional processes.
