'Not ruling out the possibility of resumption of war'.
The probability of ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols has reduced, but has not reached zero, President of the European Integration NGO Karen Beckaryan told a press conference. His predictions about the ratification of the protocols in February-March did not come true.
What can change in the possible establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations in 10 days? Some analysts consider that Sargsyan-Obama-Erdogan meeting in Washington could revitalize the process. Those, who are less optimistic, say it’s useless to continue the process, since Turkey obviously shows that it does not intend to ratify the protocols.
Erdogan’s statement about expelling the Armenian from Turkey created a negative atmosphere in the process. According to Karen Beckaryan, it was a racist call, and in response to that the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to urge its citizens to refrain from visiting Turkey.
Karen Beckaryanis is not sure an updated Madrid document exists. Not ruling out the possibility of resumption of war, he attached importance to the involvement of Karabakh in the talks.
