YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The hearings on the subject
"Armenian-Turkish Relations. Problems and Prospects" held in the
RA National Assembly on December 19-20 came up to the organizers’
expectations and provided rich material for developing a concept,
said Armen Rustamian, the chairman of the NA Standing Committee on
Foreign Relations that initiated these hearings.
According to him, in order to summarize the hearings and develop a
conclusion, the standing committee will soon create a subcommittee
on Armenian-Turkish relations, which will be composed of NA deputies
and experts. A. Rustamian said that the conclusion should include
conceptual provisions and be agreed on with the respective bodies of
the executive power, particularly with the foreign ministry. "This
will be our initial document to direct our steps both at legislative
and executive levels," he said.
According to A. Rustamian, the materials of the hearings will soon
be published in a booklet.
