Secretary of the board of Armenian “Heritage” party Stepan Safarian, in a conversation with the reporter of Armenian News-NEWS.am, said that when the basis of bilateral relations between two states has originally been presented incorrectly, as in case of the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, it is better not to continue.
“I am pleased that, based on the behavior of the Turkish authorities, the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations was suspended. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine in what a stalemate situation would the Armenian authorities find themselves,” Safarian said.
In his opinion, in fact, Armenia was not ready for the establishment of Armenian-Turkish official relations.
“It would be better for the Armenian-Turkish relations to evolve on the level of civil society,” he added.
Safarian also said that “Heritage” Party considers it necessary to withdraw Armenian signature from the Armenian-Turkish protocols, as if the task was to open the border, it could have been done without these documents.
