What was the need to sign these defeatist protocols only to annul them years later? Don’t tell me the need was normalization of relations with Turkey. How do you “normalize” relations with a murderous state that annihilated your people, stole your ancestral homeland, shamelessly denied that genocide ever happened, closed borders with Armenia, and supported Azerbaijan’s aggression against Artsakh? When would Armenian leaders think before they put their signatures on agreements?
About time.
if there could be a useful and meaningful ‘raprochement’ between anca and Yerevan…. 2 is better than 1.
The whole process was ill conceived, it was decidedly one sided, had objectionable conditions and did not have the support of Armenians worldwide.
It was a total charade dishonestly borkered by the US, Russia and France.
Since its signing on 10/10/2009 not an iota of progress was made.
It was high time for it to be annulled.

The real culprit here is Receb Tayyib Erdogan. The double dealing autocrat who has attacked without mercy, anyone that he feels supports his nemesis Gulen.
He has his thumbs up the US,( our supposed ally), befriends Putin to spite the US, moves Turkey towards a Sunni theocracy (just as Ayatollas did, moving Iran into Shi’a theocracy), blockades Armenia, continues to occupy North Cyprus, and now it is time to exterminate the Kurds, as his ancestor Ottomans did to the Armenians, 1915-1920
Turkey never honers his commitments.
Armenian’s want the Western Armenian States back, it’s been acoupid for too long, so putting Historical Armenia as one of their conditions to forget, no way, we want turkish acoupid Armenian States back.
If you want the wine your enemy, be friendly with him .
Please notice that while the Protocols required Armenia to respect its present border with Turkey, Turkey disrespects others’ borders such as Iraq’s, Syria’s, Cyprus’s, and Greece’s in the Aegean Sea.
Armenia was unwise to sign the Protocols.
Doing so can be regarded as treason.
