SPEAKER: NO DECISION BY PRESIDENT TO WITHDRAW PROTOCOLS
The RPA did not discuss withdrawal of the Armenian-Turkish protocols
from the agenda of the National Assembly, the issue is within the
competency of the head of state, and there is no respective decision by
him, said Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan during the discussion of the agenda
of the four-day session of parliament that kicked off today. He stated
this in answer to the question permanently asked by the secretary of
the Heritage Parliamentary group Zaruhee Postanjyan.
In particular, Zaruhee Postanjyan inquired whether the withdrawal of
protocols from the parliament agenda has been discussed at the meeting
of the RPA council, and about Serzh Sargsyan's stance. "This stigma is
in parliament, and it disturbs the Armenians worldwide," she said. The
member of parliament also believes that keeping the outrageous
protocols on the agenda is an encroachment on our independence.
"The head of state has been so flexible so far that the documents
are still in parliament, are used as a trump card, and the Turkish
government is set in the pillory for having aborted the ratification
of protocols by the Turkish parliament," the speaker stated, referring
to an article by MP Artashes Geghamyan, RPA.
