YEREVAN. – The current situation with respect to the Armenian-Turkish
normalization process is a result of incorrect calculations and marked
pressures by the West, Armenia’s first Human Rights Defender, Larisa
Alaverdyan, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In her words, a clear pressure was put to the Armenian party, even
when signing the Armenian-Turkish protocols.
“Even the US political calculations came out wrong. It should be
admitted that Armenia was not an active player, but rather a tool in
this process,” Alaverdyan stressed.
She added that Turkey should be demanded to lift its blockade imposed
upon the Armenian state, and it should recognize the precepts of
international law and abide by them.
“The international community needs to put political pressure on
Turkey,” Armenia’s first ombudswoman concluded.
