“Legally, this is not too objectionable declaration to me, because there were some legal references, both to the UN Convention and other documents, but politically, this is problematic for me. The government, which is maintaining its signature on the Armenian – Turkish protocols, there is still a commission of historians, which disputes the establishment of fact of genocide, protocols, which definitely recognizes the Moscow and Kars agreements with regard to Armenia’s border, while in the declaration we see a reference to the Treaty of Sevres, which contradict each other. Ultimately, the third condition is the Karabakh, which was not written. They wanted to write, but did not do it. Now, under this circumstances, these two protocols and the Declaration deeply contradict each other”, such a view was expressed by Deputy Chairman of the “Heritage” political party Armen Martirosyan, in the conversation with Aravot.am, referring to the “All Armenian Declaration on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide”. According to him, this contradiction is a problem. “I do not accept the protocols because it distinctly states all the prerequisites, but in that case, you have not taken your signatures underneath the protocols back, and now you are declaring a declaration? A deep contradiction.”
