All hopes that Turkey became a civilized country and changed, turned into thin air. Turkish PM’s London statement was response to those who were ready to fly into arms of Turkey," ARFD faction member Artsvik Minasyan told journalists March 22.

According to him, we will be strong if unite for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. “Armenia should first walk out from Armenia-Turkey normalization process and presently Turkey opened doors for it. The sooner we do it, the faster we will restore our solidarity and maintain dignity,” Minasyan assured.

Asked why U.S. and Russia keep silence on Turkish Premier’s London statement, Minasyan replied that the statement was unexpected even to them, however, firstly Armenian diplomacy should voice that the Genocide policy which was an official policy in the beginning of last century is underway and remains unchanged.

“Initiative diplomacy completely failed, and if Armenian authorities still seek to make Turkey ratify the Protocols, it means they did not draw a moral or grow wiser,” he concluded.
