“U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon’s statement on RA CC judgement points out that American side backs us,” Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Razmik Zohrabyan stated in Jan.25 press conference.

Outlining that Turkey will not ratify the Protocols if reservations are made by Armenian side, Zohrabyan said he is not supportive of reservations either, as it will mean torpedoing the process. “If Turkey registers progress in Protocols’ ratification process, we will initiate discussions in RA National Assembly as well,” he noted.

“Turkish diplomacy is not as flexible and vigorous as it seems,” he underlined adding that meanwhile current moves by Turkish side are superficial.
