Turkey’s delaying the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols
will cause adequate steps on Armenia’s part," Speaker of the RA
Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan stated at his meeting with Peter Semneby,
EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus.

The Public Relations Department, RA Parliament told NEWS.am that the
sides focused on the Armenia-Turkey normalization process.

Speaker Abrahamyan reaffirmed the Armenian side’s position and pointed
out that the Armenian side is ready to adequate steps if Turkey delays
the ratification of the protocols. He stressed that by signing the
protocols Armenia did not assume any unilateral commitments. Rather,
Armenia made that step to create necessary conditions for natural
relations between the two states. Speaker Abrahamyan told the EU
Special Representative that the Armenian side will take necessary steps
in Turkey fail to ratify the protocols within a reasonable timeframe.
