The "Heritage" Party has raised the question of conducting a referendum
on the two protocols on the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations. The party will start collecting signatures at the beginning
of the fall session of the National Assembly.

Head of the Heritage faction Armen Martirosyan today presented the
statement of the Party, in which it alerts that the ratification
of the protocols in their current form would be destructive for the
process of settlement of the Karabakh issue.

The Deputy considers that the preconditions well-known to the Armenian
and the international community are included in the protocols. He
said also that the discussion of the historical issues in one of the
sub-commissions of the intergovernmental commission hits the process
of recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

"Proceeding from the above-mentioned concerns, the Heritage demands
holding a nationwide referendum on the documents," Armen Martirosyan
said.
