/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian-Turkish Protocols will be debated in
the committee on external relations of the RA National Assembly on
February 19.
"We offered the parliament speaker to develop a procedure of
preliminary discussions," Armen Rustamyan, chairman of the committee,
said.
He emphasized that the discussions will be maximally transparent.
"According to the NA charter, international agreements are included in
the agenda and then debated during the parliamentary session," he said.
Mr. Rustamyan added that ARF-Dashnaktsutyun can support ratification
of Protocols only in case certain reservations are introduced in them.
The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet
Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks
held through Swiss mediation.
On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country's Organic Law.
