RURAL ARMENIA LEFT IN DARK ABOUT DANGERS SURROUNDING PROTOCOLS

YEREVAN (Yerkir)-The Armenian population outside the capital of Yerevan
is uninformed about the Armenia-Turkey protocols and the dangers
they pose for the future of Armenia, said Armenian Revolutionary
Federation parliamentary bloc member Ara Nranian, who added that his
party has initiated an intensive effort to engage the two-thirds of
the population in the process.
Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, Nranian told reporters that
the information that is received in the regions outside of the capital
is mainly one-sided and that aside from Armenia's state television,
the public does not have access to other media.
"When you speak to the residents of the regions, it becomes evident
that they are not informed about the [protocols] process," said
Nranian.
The ARF legislator emphasized the importance of engaging the population
in the regions because their lives and livelihood would be directly
impacted by the outcome of the protocols. Only after discussions and
presentations do people that the protocols would be detrimental to
them, explained Nranian.
He also hinted that there were "cracks" in the so-called majority of
the parliament, explaining that even members of the ruling Republican
Party have misgivings about the protocols, but were afraid to express
them for fear of dissenting from the party's official line.
