Газета "Заман":

Турция должна ратифицировать подписанные в Цюрихе армяно-турецкие протоколы по установлению дипломатических отношений с Арменией. Более того, турецкое государство должно принести извинения за "прискорбные" действия, совершенные в прошлом. Об этом говорится в статье журналиста турецкой газеты "Заман" Догу Эргила.

10 октября 2009 года главы МИД Армении и Турции подписали в Цюрихе "Протокол об установлении дипотношений" и "Протокол о развитии двусторонних отношений", которые должны были быть ратифицированы парламентами двух стран. Турция всячески откладывала ратификацию документов, в связи с чем президент Армении 22 апреля 2010 подписал указ о приостановлении процесса ратификации армяно-турецких протоколов, заявив, что Анкара не готова продолжать начатый процесс. В августе 2011 года армяно- турецкие протоколы были, согласно регламенту, исключены из повестки турецкого парламента так как не были рассмотрены в течение одного созыва. В октябре премьер- министр Турции вернул документы в повестку парламента, однако сроки их ратификации пока не определены.

"Турция имеет три причины для непризнания Геноцида армян. Турки не хотят, что бы их знали как внуков людей, которые были названы преступниками. Тот факт, что турецкое государство построено на уничтожении и ассимиляции других народов является разочаровывающим фактом. Вторая причина заключается в возможности законных требований юридической и материальной компенсации. Не разработана правовая база событий 1915г. в Турции. Нет никакого правдоподобного объяснения почему армяне были изгнаны из Анатолии и почему до сих пор их потери не были компенсированы", - пишет Эргил.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
