Armenian National Congress (ANC) will not take part in Oct. 1 hearings
on Armenia-Turkey Protocols, Levon Ter Petrosyan’s Press Secretary
Arman Musinyan stated on Sept. 23, 2009.

"ANC will not participate as these hearings are absolutely aimless and
of imitative nature." There is no need of amendments in the Protocols,
the only point is ratification. The Parliament, being under a thumb
and non-political body, conducts mere formal hearings. In aany case
it will approve the decision dictated from Baghramyan 26, President’s
residence," Musinyan said.

Meanwhile, Musinyan added that Serzh Sargsyan seeks to be validated
abroad at a cost of concessions, having no resources in Armenia except
for force structures, that made him to compromise with his conscience.

On October 1, 2009 Armenia-Turkey Protocols hearings will be held
in RA National Assembly, that according to the oppositional forces
contain unacceptable preconditions.
