Cause of delay was Armenian disagreement w/text of Turkish statement

Cause of delay in signing Armenia-Turkey protocols is Armenian
delegation’s disagreement with text of Turkish statement

YEREVAN, 10 OCTOBER, NOYAN TAPAN. Signing of two protocols on
normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations was scheduled for 5:00 pm
Zurich time (8 pm Yerevan time). As Head of the ARF Hay Dat and
Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan said in an interview with Yerkir
Media television company, there was information that the Armenian
delegation has not arrived at the place of signing the protocols and
remained at the hotel because the delegation has dissatisfaction and
disagreement regarding the text of a 3-minute statement that Turkey is
to make after signing of the protocols. The Armenian delegation has
demanded that the text be changed. The representatives of the U.S.
State Department are trying to mediate: they went to the hotel to
present a second version of the Turkish statement’s text.

The Armenian delegation is headed by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian and composed of two Deputy Foreign Ministers: Arman
Kirakosian and Shavarsh Kocharian and Secretary General of the RA
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shahen Avagian.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
