Moscow calls Parliaments of Turkey and Armenia to ratify the signed Protocols shortly, states RF MFA Spokesman Andrey Nesterenko October 15.

“Signing of the protocols is the first step on the way of Armenia-Turkey normalization. The parties should ratify the documents as soon as possible and start their realization,” he says. According to Nesterenko, Russia is ready to back the process through further cooperation with the countries.

Commenting on the Zurich signing ceremony October 10, RF MFA official underlined, “We are frankly glad about the process — as both Armenia and Turkey are states friendly to Russia.”

“To our opinion, the essence of the documents prove the two countries really intend to go their way of the deal. Noteworthy, not a single step made by either of sides can cause any harm to any third party,” assures Nesterenko.
