Turkish authorities, signing a document and making statements contradicting the latter, can’t be taken seriously, according to parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan.
As he told a news conference in Yerevan, Turkish authorities seem to disrespect either themselves or the agreements reached. “As to ratification of Protocols, we discussed the issue with the coalition partners and adhere to the position already announced: Armenian parliament will take no further steps until Turkey ratifies Protocols,” Mr. Abrahamyan emphasized.
Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan, for his part, noted that Turkey was the one to close the border, so it’s for Turkey to open it. “We showed our goodwill, it’s now Turkey’s turn,” PanARMENIAN.Net parliamentary correspondent cited Mr. Tsarukyan as saying.
