YEREVAN, 16 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaktsutyun believes President of the Republic of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan did the right thing by withdrawing the Turkey-Armenia
Protocols from the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. At
the same time, the Dashnaktsutyun believes Armenia has to go all the
way and take back its signature from the Protocols as well.
In an interview with "Armenpress", representative of the ARF-D Bureau
for the Armenian Cause and Political Affairs Kiro Manoyan mentioned
the following: "The Dashnaktsutyun was against the Turkey-Armenia
Protocols from the very first day, and after it became clear that
Turkey didn't want to establish relations with Armenia without
preconditions, we urged the President to take back his signature from
the Protocols. Withdrawing the Protocols from the National Assembly
is commendable, but not sufficient since the justifications presented
in the President's letters were suffice for Armenia to take back its
signature from the Protocols as well. It's the right step, but the
President has to go all the way," Kiro Manoyan emphasized.
The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) also positively assesses
the President's initiative to withdraw the Turkey-Armenia Protocols
from the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. Chairman of
the SDHP Narek Galstyan emphasized that what's especially important
is the fact that this is happening on the threshold of the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. "The SDHP has criticized the
Armenian-Turkish Protocols several times. We believe the initial
signing of the Protocols in Zurich was a step back. Over the past
six years, we have had many occasions to call on withdrawing the
Turkey-Armenia Protocols when the official Ankara showed that it's
not ready and doesn't want to melt the ice in the Armenian-Turkish
relations in any way. Thus, we positively assess Serzh Sargsyan's
initiative, which is commendable as it is ahead of the 100thanniversary
of the Armenian Genocide," Narek Galstyan said.
