We have been announcing for some time that the Armenian and Turkish authorities are holding behind-the-scenes talks, which was denied by the Armenian authorities. Yesterday, again from a foreign source, in this case the statement of the Turkish Foreign Minister, it became clear that the two countries are going to appoint special envoys to normalize relations. It is obvious that the appointment of envoys was preceded by secret negotiations held behind the people’s backs, which have turned into a level when envoys must be appointed.
It is known that by 2020 During the war, Turkey presented Armenia with three main preconditions: renunciation of the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, legal recognition of the de facto border with Turkey, renunciation of the Artsakh issue. After the aggression unleashed against the Armenian people with the direct participation of Turkey and the end of the war, Turkey added another precondition, the so-called “provision of the Zangezur Corridor” to Azerbaijan.
The authorities of the Republic of Armenia, with the infamous program of the government, in fact satisfied the Turkish precondition of refusing the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, one of the manifestations of which was the shameful statement of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the occasion of the International Genocide Remembrance Day. The lack of a state position on the status of Artsakh testifies to the fulfillment of one Turkish precondition.
It is noteworthy that on March 16, the ARF Bureau, taking into account the statements of various officials, international and regional developments, and its own information, warned the authorities, who handed over a large part of the homeland to the enemy, not to enter into negotiations with the Republic of Turkey. Achieving the 100-year-old goals of the Turkish state.
Dear compatriots, it is another fact that there is a secret agreement between the Armenian and Turkish authorities. Turkey has never been ready to establish diplomatic relations without preconditions.
The power of evil once again turns to a new adventure at the expense of the rights of the generations of the RA և Artsakh կենս vital interests։.
When we said we should prevent the Turkification of Armenia, this is what we meant.
“It’s not too late. Nationwide resistance could abort the agenda of Turkey’s forces serving them.
Of course, under President Serge Sargsyan, Armenia and Turkey signed the Protocols, in 2009.
Therefore, such negotiations between the two countries are not unprecedented.
Let’s also recognize that Russia is forcing Armenia into deals that the Armenian people do not want, such as a route between Nakhichevan and Azerbaijan.
How would the present Armenian “opposition” to Pashinyan resist such Russian pressure if it was in charge?
If they have no answer, then they would not be much different than Pashinyan.
If the “opposition” thinks it could establish a better relation with Russia, let it say so and describe why.
It is disappointing that there is little public discussion among Armenians about the fact that Putin continues to break his promises and legal obligations to Armenia – for no good reason.
In short, Putin has betrayed and lied to Armenia.
