/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey rash to ratify Protocols because they fully
reflect its interests, Vahan Hovhannisyan, member of the ARF Bureau
said at the rally organized by ARF Dashnaktsutyun in Yerevan. According
to him, no one speak against ratification of the Protocols in Armenia,
except the Faction. "We know many MPs from the ruling Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA) are opposed to ratification, but they are afraid of
the leadership. We intend to publicly suggest them a choice: either
the people or the authorities, " Mr. Hovannisyan said.
The leader of "New Times" Aram Karapetyan said that the public opinion
can change the situation. "Republican Party chose the right tactics:
until Turkey does not ratified the Protocols, the Armenian parliament
will do nothing," Aram Karapetyan said. "New Times" collaborate with
all political forces opposed to the agreement with Turkey. "We can
cooperate even with the ruling party, if it will be with the people,"
Aram Karapetyan said.
According to the representative of the Heritage Party Stepan Safaryan,
there is only one way out of this situation: resignation of the
president. "We respect all the statements, but we changes in the
system. Turkey will never normalize relations with Armenia, since
it cannot admit its fault and responsibility for the Genocide of
Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, " Stepan Safaryan said.
The representative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Armen Rustamyan said
that a new phase of national struggle started on October 10. "The
authorities must start new negotiations with Turkey from scratch
and without preconditions. It becomes clear day by day that the
normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations is connected with
the Karabakh problem, which was apparent in Zurich. The presence
of co-chairing the OSCE Minsk Group at the signing ceremony of
the Protocols is the proof. We had to make the Turks refused
from preconditions, instead of signing in silence. The Armenian
authorities p the process and we will stand beside them until the end,
or resign. Armenia should treat the Protocols as invalid, based on
the provisions of international law, " Armen Rustamyan stressed.
More than five thousand people attended the ARF meeting, which was
however authorized by the Mayor's office of Yerevan.
