Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament (National Assembly) Samvel
Nikoyan is uncertain as to when the National Assembly will start
discussions on the pre-signed Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
"I don't know if any decision has been made in this respect. I know
that the National Assembly is going to hold hearings on the
Protocols," Samvel Nikoyan said to A1+.
Under the NA time-limit, all international documents including the
aforesaid Protocols must be presented to the National Assembly by
Serzh Sargsyan, the NA Deputy Speaker says.
Remind that during a recent press conference in New York's Princeton
University, Recep Tayyip Erdoðan announced that the Armenian-Turkish
Protocols would be presented in the Turkish Parliament on October
10-11 [on the eve of Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan's visit to
Turkey].
In reply to A1+ whether the date is somehow connected with Serzh
Sargsyan's visit, Mr. Nikoyan said: "I cannot say anything in this
context as I am not acquainted with the legislations of the Turkish
Parliament.
I think the Armenian Parliament will discuss the Protocols either in a
special sitting or during a four-day sitting."
Note that in his speech Erdoðan said that the both parliaments will
hold discussions on the Protocols in October.
