YEREVAN. - The Armenian-Turkish protocols still are on Armenia's
National Assembly (NA) agenda, but not because Armenia fully believes
in Turkey, but rather because it respects its international partners.
NA Speaker Samvel Nikoyan stated this in response to opposition
Heritage Party MP Armen Martirosyan's question.
"I am obligated to repeat the response to this question. This is
the republic President's right, which he himself exercises," NA
Speaker said.
Nikoyan also noted that as long as the Armenian-Turkish protocols are
still on the agenda of the Turkish parliament, it would be wrong to
withdraw them from the NA agenda.
"The positions of the international community and Armenia are coherent
in terms of normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations. The respect toward
our international partners assumes that the Armenian-Turkish protocols
must remain on our agenda," Armenia's National Assembly Speaker stated.
