Information on Armenian-Turkish rapprochement and the pre-signed
Protocols is so controversial that people cannot draw a definite
conclusion.
"I cannot understand the current developments in the political scene
though I am eager to," says an Armenian intellectual who preferred
staying anonymous.
"The information furnished by Turkey conflicts with that expressed by
Armenia’s officialdom. I cannot understand anything. I am a scholar
and I need facts to make conclusions," says the intellectual.
Armenian noted actor Vladimir Msrian refrained from commenting on
Armenian-Turkish relations.
"I have no time. I am busy with other important things. Besides,
I don’t want to speak on the subject," he said in brief.
"I don’t understand much but I know one thing for sure. The sides
must take into consideration public opinion. If the Diaspora boycotts
the Protocols and signals to some vivid inaccuracies, I think the
documents need to be reviewed. I am against the Protocols’ signing,"
RA national artist Varduhy Varderesian said.
"If you are on friendly terms with someone you should forget the
age-long enmity. But are we ready to forget the Armenian Genocide? I
think after the Protocols are signed the Genocide recognition will
be neglected," added Ms. Varderesian.
