/PanARMENIAN.Net/ ARFD’s protests and hunger strikes aim to awaken
Armenian society’s vigilance to preliminarily signed Armenian-Turkish
Protocols, Head of ARFD faction Vahan Hovhannisyan said today during
Parliament’s evening session.

Protocols, according to Hovhannisyan, contain clauses endangering
Armenia’s interests, so the party intends to make amendments therein.

"Although President’s recommendation requires normalization of
ties without preconditions, we see that Protocols express all the
preconditions of Turkish side and contain agreement clauses that give
rise to concerns," Hovhannisyan said,

Municipality’s bans on ARFD’s rallies in Republican Square and five-day
carte blanche for another pro-opposition force clearly demonstrate
that Armenia does really have opposition, Hovhannisyan finds.
