YEREVAN. - In 2011 Turkey strongly opposed ratification of the protocols signed to normalize relations between Armenia and Turkey, says the 2011 report issued by Armenian MFA.

“Destructive approaches of Turkey will get an adequate reaction from the international community which stated that it is high time that the Turkish side should take a real step to ratify and implement the protocols without preconditions,” the document says.

The report mentions that the world community continued to insist on necessity to normalize Armenian-Turkish relations without preconditions which is in harmony with the position of the official Yerevan.

In October 2009 Armenia and Turkey signed protocols in Zurich to normalize diplomatic relations between the states. The documents had to be ratified in both countries’ parliaments. However, in 2010 the Armenian president suspended the process due to Turkey’s non-constructive stance. Ankara set unexpected preconditions and linked the reconciliation process to resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
