U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon’s statement proves that U.S backs RA CC judgment as fully understands that the Protocols’ ratification process can be protracted only by Turkish side, not Armenian, RPA (Republican Party of Armenia) member Karen Avagyan told NEWS.am.

According to him, such statements are made to signal Turkey that setting forth preconditions impedes Armenia-Turkey normalization. “In any case Gordon’s statement refers solely to Turkish side and bears no relation to Armenia, as so far the latter it did not diverge from the right track,” he stated.

As NEWS.am reported previously, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon stated that U.S. welcomes controversial ruling of RA CC judgment on the Protocols on January 12, that effectively dismisses Turkey’s claims that conflicts Turkey-Armenia agreements on relations’ normalization.
