YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The Orinats Yerkir party considers
that the last Armenian-Turkish Protocols initiated between the two
countries are aimed at improving their relations and the party supports
the current process. Head of the Orinats Yerkir parliamentary faction
Heghine Bisharian reported this at a September 10 conference noting
that in spite of critical opinions of the Protocols in various circles
of society they are decreasing gradually.

She also noted that Orinats Yerkir is not concerned with the provision
of formation of a sub-commission of historians and the recognition
of borders.

According to her, the formation of the sub-commission will only
contribute to proving the fact of Armenian Genocide and the open
borders will assisit the economic development of the country. According
to her, the ordinary citizens of the two countries have been
communicating warmly with each other long ago.

At the request of the reporters touching upon the latest developments
in the Heritage party the Deputy Chairwoman of the Orinats Yerkir
said: "When there is an argument in your neighbour’s family, it is not
pleasent to interfere in it." According to her, those are inter-party
problems and it will not be right to qualify them now.
