In Armenia-Turkey normalization the failure of the process is most acceptable to Armenia, and it is crucial that the process be killed by the Turkish side, Stepan Safaryan, the Heritage parliamentary faction leader, told a March 31 press conference.

According to him, Turkey does its best for Armenia to kill the process. “Turkish Prime Minister’s provocative statements on possible deportation of illegal Armenian immigrants are aimed at making Armenia kill the normalization process,” Safaryan said.

As a second scenario of the reconciliation, Safaryan pointed out freezing of the process, with both Armenia and Turkey being uncertain about it. “In this regard, Turkey is pressurized, which results in the adoption of resolutions recognizing Armenian Genocide by different states’ Parliaments,” he said.

On the other hand, according to Safaryan, Armenia-Turkey relations are more likely to succeed than the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.

The member of Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Karen Avagyan said the international community exerts pressure on Turkey due to a clear and realistic policy pursued by RA President Serzh Sargsyan.

“Armenia pursues a coherent and constructive foreign policy and the adoption of Armenian Genocide resolutions by parliaments of different countries is evidence thereof,” Avagyan concluded.
