72436“One might think that we should regret for initiating the process of Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, since Turkey toppled down its responsibilities and we spent huge political capital. I believe those present here understand that this initiative raised Armenia’s reputation on the international arena and dispelled the illusions of our colleagues about new and modern Turkey, herewith discovering modern manifestations of the policy Armenians learned from historic lessons.

We, nevertheless, remain committed to our cause of settlement of Armenian-Turkish relations without any preconditions. Turkey has to find the will to respect the undertaken obligations and not credit statements that do not bring honor to a modern regional state,’’ said the president.

According to him, Turkey must realize that the protocols are not infinite chances.

‘‘Many of our friends advised us to wait for Parliamentary elections in Turkey. Next few months will show whether there is any change in approaches after the elections. We shall make our moves regarding the protocols on the basis of these observations, although, frankly speaking, the past two months do not inspire much optimism in this context,’’ said President Sargsyan.
