YEREVAN, 10 OCTOBER, NOYAN TAPAN. Signing of two protocols on normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations was scheduled for 5:00 pm Zurich time (8 pm Yerevan time). As Head of the ARF Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan said in an interview with Yerkir Media television company, there was information that the Armenian delegation has not arrived at the place of signing the protocols and remained at the hotel because the delegation has dissatisfaction and disagreement regarding the text of a 3-minute statement that Turkey is to make after signing of the protocols. The Armenian delegation has demanded that the text be changed. The representatives of the U.S. State Department are trying to mediate: they went to the hotel to present a second version of the Turkish statement's text. The Armenian delegation is headed by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and composed of two Deputy Foreign Ministers: Arman Kirakosian and Shavarsh Kocharian and Secretary General of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shahen Avagian.
