YEREVAN, OCTOBER 9, NOYAN TAPAN. Nothing will end with the signing of Armenia-Turkey protocols, which is scheduled to take place in Zurich on October 10, because the ratification process of these protocols will start after that. Head of the ARF Bureau Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan expressed this opinion at the October 9 press conference. He pointed out that it is evident from the fact that the representatives of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Countries will attend the sigining ceremony that this process is related to the Nagorno Karabakh problem. In his words, the ARF will struggle to the bitter end in order to reduce the harms of the protocols to a minimum. "Opportunities still exist, and work must be done in this direction," he said. In the opinion of K. Manoyan, everything must be done to prevent a split between Armenia and the Diaspora, since this is one of Turkey's goals.
