Vigen Kocharyan: Withdrawal of Armenian-Turkish protocols is due to Ankara’s stance
The Armenian President’s decision to withdraw the Armenian-Turkish protocols from parliament is due to Ankara’s stance, Vigen Kocharyan, head of the Department of European and International Law at Yerevan State University, told a news conference on Friday.
“The withdrawal of the Armenian-Turkish protocols is conditioned not by their content or by change in Armenian side’s position on their content, but by the stance of Ankara that speaks the language of preconditions,” he said.
As regards Turkey’s proposal to form a commission of historians, Kocharyan said that the issue of Armenian Genocide is not subject to discussion and a commission could only be created for studying the issue of compensation.
