“Armenia’s efforts aimed at establishing relations with Turkey
didn’t produce results. Ankara is not ready yet to establish ties
with Yerevan,” Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said when answering
questions of MPs during the PACE session in Strasbourg today.
“As is known, the Turkish leadership refused to ratify the protocols
on the establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations. I would not like to
speak about the reasons as everyone knows these reasons. I just want to
describe my impression. The impression is that Turkey has no intention
of ratifying the protocols in the foreseeable future. The problem is
not related to us. Each state should take a responsible approach to
the documents it has signed, but we don’t see such responsibility
and for that reason there are no relations between our countries,”
Serzh Sargsyan noted.
According to him, the proposals presented by Turkey’s government were
aimed at drawing attention of the international community. “If they
had wanted to do something, they would have ratified the protocols
and normalized relations,” the Armenian president said.
