YEREVAN, APRIL 27, ARMENPRESS: In undertaking the regulation process
of Armenian-Turkish relations, the target of Armenia was establishment
of diplomatic relations with Turkey without preconditions and opening
of the Armenian-Turkish border, Chairman of the NA Standing Committee
on Financial-Credit and Budgetary Affairs, member of the executive
body of the Armenian Republican Party Gagik Minasyan said today at
a meeting with journalists.

"No case has been registered over this year, when our behavior is
criticized by international big political centers. The latter have
always stood up for our position," G. Minasyan pointed out. According
to him, we cannot say the same about Turkey, which tried to put
forward preconditions and deserved the criticism of the international
community.

"We won a status of a subject of initiative policy, which dictates
political processes and pursues their successful finish. We also
acquired a reputation of a trustworthy partner, which will have an
essential significance in regard to our political developments. We
also won a thing, which we could not reach without starting this
process; hot discussions on the genocide run today just in Turkey,"
the parliament member stressed.

According to him, the rally of the Turks organized on April 24 in
Istanbul, the speech of the Turkish parliament member with the demand
of recognizing the Armenian genocide show that a process has started
in Turkey which sooner or later will result in reconciliation of
wider circles of society with their past. "This is our main goal;
we want the whole world to recognize the Armenian Genocide and then
at the end we want it by Turkey," G. Minasyan said.

Referring to the regulation prospects of the Armenian-Turkish
relations, he noted that Armenia does not take back the signatures,
and only suspends the ratification process. "We think there will be
authorities in Turkey which will be ready to bring the process to an
end without preconditions. If there are not such authorities we will
maintain our status, and in this case there will be no opportunity
of speculation for Turkey," G. Minasyan stressed.

According to him, actually there were 4 variants – the recall of the
signatures, the ratification of the protocols, the suspension and
the doing nothing. "The most logical step was the suspension of the
process," the speaker said.
