YEREVAN. – The Armenian-Turkish protocols have undermined neither the Genocide condemnation process, nor Armenia’s foreign policy image.   

Armenia National Assembly Vice-Speaker, ruling Republican Party Press Secretary Eduard Sharmazanov stated the aforesaid to reporters.

He noted the above-said within the framework of the international scientific conference, which is devoted to the Caucasian front during the First World War, and which got underway Monday at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute in capital city Yerevan.

As per Sharmazanov, by signing the aforementioned protocols, Armenia acquired the status of a more reliable and predictable state; but these protocols have harmed Turkey.

“For our international partners, Turkey has become a country that violates agreements. [But] until then, Turkey was assuring to the world that it is prepared to establish relations with Armenia without preconditions.

“We showed that, despite the ethical right [of ours] to speak in the language of preconditions, we do not go on that road, since it is not the road to civilization and democracy. We showed the world the true face of Turkey,” the Armenian parliament vice chair noted.

Ahead of 2015, the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, he also urged the Armenians worldwide to unite.

“We must do everything we can so that the uncivilized countries understand: the denial of genocides is as reprehensible as their perpetration,” Eduard Sharmazanov noted.
