EU to call Ankara to account concerning ratification of Protocols.
As Secretary General of the European Friends of Armenia organization (EuFoA) Michael Kambeck told, he knows in details that the new Supreme Representative Baroness ‘atherine Ashton as EU minister for foreign affairs will shortly publicly reference to the issue of the Armenian-Turkish process.
According to M. Kambeck, C. Ashton will make an appeal to express EU gratitude to the Armenian party for the measures towards ratification of the Protocols and call on Ankara to follow the lead of Yerevan. He said Turkey has to remember that the whole world keeps an eye on this process. EU is too tired of the fact that Turkey signs international treaties but never ratifies or fulfills them, like it was in case with Cyprus. He added that uniqueness of this process is that EU, the USA and Russia achieved a consensus and advocate unconditional and timely ratification of Protocols. According to Kambeck, this consensus lays a foundation and quite favourable conditions for EU actions, responsible for efficient implementation of the principle of multilateral relations in the international arena. He recalled that EU has new and more effective standards to rule its foreign policy.
He said that at present European Union has all the necessary means to reach the ambitions proclaimed to become a stronger and initiating player in the Caucasus. The EU wants peace and development and may reach it when cooperating with Russia and thge USA. In fact, it will mean general application of all 27 member-states which call on Turkey to ratify the Protocols, Mr. Kambeck said.
