/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations
has become a lever of pressure on Armenia in the Karabakh conflict
settlement, Giro Manoyan , head of the "Hay Dat" Central Office engaged
in political issues of ARF Dashnaktsutyun, told a news conference
in Yerevan today. According to him, Turkey links the process of
normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations with the settlement of
the Karabakh conflict.
"Besides the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and Karabakh conflict
settlement, we are still trying to please a third party – the
superpowers, Giro Manoyan said, adding that the Armenian society must
exert pressure on the Armenian authorities to prevent them from any
concessions either in the Karabakh issue, or in the reconciliation
process between Armenia and Turkey.
Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, Mr. Manoyan mentioned
that Turkey is likely to try to prolong the Protocol ratification
process and Armenia should not wait but clearly declare its position.
Regarding the possibility of resumption of hostilities between Armenia
and Azerbaijan, Mr. Manoyan said that Ankara is likely to support Baku,
without direct involvement in hostilities.
