Armenia ‘Still Committed=?UTF-8?B?4oCZIA==?=To 2009 Accords With Turkey

Armenia would swiftly ratify its U.S.-backed normalization agreements with Turkey signed in 2009 as soon as the Turkish government drops its preconditions for their implementation, according to President Serzh Sarkisian.

In an interview with a group of foreign reporters, Sarkisian downplayed his decision last month to withdraw the two Turkish-Armenian protocols from the Armenian parliament because of Ankara's refusal to unconditionally ratify them.

"It was a political message and it does not presuppose any legal consequences because I did not withdraw Armenia's signatures from the protocols," Sarkisian said in remarks publicized by Panorama.am on Thursday.
