Despite protraction, Turkey will ratify the protocols, head of the
Heritage faction Styopa Safaryan considers. Analyzing the current
stage of Armenian-Turkish relations, the MP concluded that "Turkey is
not interested in the final outcome – the opening of the border. It
will rather try to benefit from the process itself."
Commenting on the overall situation in the region, Styopa Safaryan
said: "One thing is obvious. At least two countries in the region
have changed their approaches on the status quo. The first one is
Russia, which sent a very clear message by unilaterally recognizing
Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The second country is Turkey, which is
demonstrating its interest in changing the status quo."
