Heritage Party MP Larisa Alaverdyan today stated that Turkey was using the Armenian-Turkish Protocols to resolve a number of historical problems, namely, those dealing with the "Armenian Question"; i.e. the borders and the 1915 Genocide. "This is the minimum that Turkey seeks to achieve. Its maximalist program is linked to Artsakh. It seeks to obtain a document that verifies the illegal ‘rights’ of Azerbaijan at the expense of Karabakh," she argued. Also at today’s press conference was Republican Party MP Hovhannes Sahakyan. He stated that Turkey was no looking for a way to wreck passage of the Protocols. "Ankara is now looking for any opportunity to wreck the Protocols, to the detriment of Armenia, and to show the world that Yerevan was the reason why the documents weren’t ratified," he argued.
