The Head of the ARF parliamentary faction Vahan Hovhannisyan
expressed a very strict opinion in connection with the singing of
the Armenian-Turkish protocols in Zurich.
"I felt sick watching that ceremony. We have struggled for years
to break the wall existing in European countries and in other
international spheres but during that ceremony, that wall between
Nalbandyan and Davutoglu was rebuilt and cemented. We will again
break that wall of course, but they made that process more difficult",
he said.
I answer to the question how the ARF is going not to let the protocols
be ratified considering that the coalition forces are absolute
majority, Vahan Hovhannisyan said that number does not count in such
issues. They have only 25 posts but deep inside 95.
Vahan Hovhannisyan noted that Serge Sargsyan on the day of signing
the protocols voiced in this address all the worries that they had
voiced before and it cannot but be a sign for the coalition forces
and parliamentarians. "Regardless the border will be opened or not,
structural changes are needed in Armenia. If the border is opened,
the Armenian side has to make its economy competitive has to make
structural and staff changes and if it is not opened Armenia has to pay
attention to the Armenia-Iran railway construction", says Hovhannisyan.
Continuing this topic, the Dashnak figure stated that the tragic state
of Armenia’s budget is not due to close borders but the corruption
and non-organization inside the country. He stated that only several
oligarchs will win if the border is opened but not a villager.
