Armenia does not seek to dictate terms to Turkey, but the time for this will come, Head of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Galust Sahakyan stated.

According to him, presently Armenia adheres to European principles, that tends to have open borders. Sahakyan also welcomed healthy criticism by opposition, occasionally emphasizing the threats coming from Armenia-Turkey reconciliation. “Turkey cannot be our partner neither now, nor then, we are just taking advantage of the current situation,” he outlined adding that if hope for Turkey to become democratic country, it will take us so long to wait.

Sahakyan did not rule out the possibility that Turkey will fail Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ ratification. Meanwhile, he outlined that Armenian authorities have an action plan for that case, however refrained from giving details, noting that no prior notice should be issued.
