YEREVAN—Given that the Armenia-Turkey protocols have been submitted for ratification to Armenia’s National Assembly, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation has launched an email campaign urging parliament members not to ratify the protocols in their current state.
A five-language (Armenian, English, Russian, French, and Spanish) website has been established, through which electronic letters can be dispatched to the members of parliament. The web address is www.notoprotocols.net.
According to an ARF statement, “In their present form, the protocols satisfy two preconditions set by Turkey for normalizing its relations with Armenia, namely giving up any land claims from Turkey and effectively abandoning the pursuit of the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Moreover, the ratification process of the protocols satisfies Turkey’s third precondition of making Armenia-Turkey relations conditional upon the resolution of the Artsakh issue.”
The ARF urged all Armenians to take part in this campaign and make their voices heard by sending an appeal via the website.
This campaign is designed to join the voices of all Armenians–in the diaspora and the homeland–heard on this matter and to emphasize that all Armenians have a stake in Armenia’s national interests.
The sin for these notoriously famous Protocols are on the shoulders (I’d rather say, in the throat) of Mr. Kocharyan and Mr. Sarksyan, the illegal Armenian Presidents. I am saying ‘No’ not only to the Protocols, but also to those two terrorists from Karabakh, who are the thieves of the Armenian political power.
These so-called “campaigners” most probably (actually, most definitely) have no clue as to what the protocols mean geopolitically and/or economically. What these peasants are merely interested in is to oppose anything the Armenian authorities propose… It’s that simple and that is actually the depth of Armenia’s “opposition” today. Nevertheless, if these people and their diasporan sponsors somehow derail the political process (which is highly unlikely), they would only be doing a favor for Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Observing these types of people making demands, I feel as if a significant portion of us Armenian are content with having an impoverished, isolated, insignificant, third world nation on the brink of extinction…
Hye, our Armenian leaders of today, the inept leaderships at the fore now for several administrations, sadly, not astute politically to lead the fledgling nation of Armenia, not sharp enough to deal with the likes of a Turkey whose ‘alliances’ – and more – change as with the weather. But then all nations who have to deal with a Turkey have learned to recognize the slippery-slide when dealing with the Turkish leaderships – the Ottomans and later, the subsequent leaderships (still in the Ottoman mentality/modes) who use PLOY after PLOY after PLOY to accommodate their changing, unreliable projects/alliances. These PLOYS are indicative of their desparation… as they are within,
decayed, decaying – and more! Turkey glitters on the outside/ Turkey is failing their citiizens inside.
The only hope for the civilized Turkish citizens is for these leaderships be removed totally – as was the Nazis of Germany – to be able to become a true democracy and ONLY then to join the civilized nations of the world… as a true democracy.
