YEREVAN.- In terms of Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, 2012 can be characterized as a year of waiting, head of Armenian parliament’s standing committee on foreign affairs Artak Zakaryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Although no efficient moves were made, Armenia repeatedly confirmed its position on the issue.

“Armenia states its readiness under condition that ball is in Turkey’s court and Ankara has to take efforts to restore confidence. Turkey must respect the signature under the protocols and review its position,” he said.

As to Armenia’s stance, Zakaryan said refusal from drastic steps is explained by calls of the international community.
