Armenia should refuse from the negotiations with Turkey in order to come out of the current situation with minimal losses, since the normalization of relations “without preconditions” is obviously failing, Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan and political scientist Yervand Bozoyan told a press conference today. They are assured that Armenia has only suffered in the process, while the situation is rather advantageous for Turkey.
According to Kiro Manoyan, after the joint statement Armenia and Turkey released, the Turkish steps have been countering the spirit of that declaration, since the later has declared many times that ratification of any document on the establishment of diplomatic relations is impossible until the settlement of the Karabakh issue.
Kiro Manoyan considers that today Armenia has serious grounds to declare that it is withdrawing form the talks: Turkey does not adhere to the principle of establishing relations without preconditions.
Political scientist Yerevan Bozoyan is also confident that continuing the talks with Turkey under these conditions is senseless and dangerous. According to him, one should not ignore the fact that Armenia-Turkey relations are asymmetric, and obviously the outer pressures will impose concessions on Armenia first. He is assured that the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations is already frozen, and today it“s only Turkey that benefits from the process.
