ArmInfo. ARF Dashnaktsutyun has started picketing the Government
of Armenia.

Nearly 100-150 activists of the party are protesting against the
initialed Armenian-Turkish protocols. Among the protestors are
Armen Rustamyan, representative of the ARFD Supreme Body and Hrayr
Karapetyan, Ex-Vice-Speaker of Armenia.

The protestors are distributing leaflets saying that despite the
statements by the authorities that the Armenian-Turkish relations
will be normalized without preconditions, the tow Protocols contain
preconditions very dangerous for Armenia and the Armenian people,
i.e. recognition of the present Armenian-Turkish border is fulfillment
of Turkey’s demand to recognize the Kars Treaty. In addition, the
fact of genocide is becoming a subject for debates. And finally, ARFD
supposed that the statements repeatedly made by Turkish officials
show that the Armenian-Turkish process is directly linked to the
Karabakh peace process and implies, in conformity with the Turkish
party, implies transfer of liberated territories of Azerbaijan. ARFD
picket will last 3 weeks, Armen Rustamyan said.
