YEREVAN. - Armenian-Turkish protocols can be withdrawn from the agenda
only by the President Serzh Sargsyan, as it is his exclusive right,
Armenian parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan said in response to the
question by oppositional ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP Armen Rustamyan. The
latter asked whether it is better to withdraw the protocols from
the agenda of the parliament after they were withdrawn from Turkish
parliament agenda.
"Armenian president has the right to withdraw the protocols. The
protocols have not been removed from the Turkish parliament. They
were left out as new parliament was established. I believe that
our president is well aware of political processes in Turkey,"
Abrahamyan said and added that the President Sargsyan will adopt a
better approach in case Turkish government does not offer to include
the protocols in the agenda.
However, Armenian parliament speaker is ready to ask the president
to withdraw to protocols, if coalition powers and all parliamentary
fractions decide there is necessity to turn to the president.
