"If the authorities ignore the public opinion and ratify the
Armenian-Turkish protocols, the people will wipe them off," the ARFD
Bureau member Vahan Hovhannisyan stated at a rally today.

He began his speech with expressing condolences on the fact that
the signing of the "infamous protocols" was not prevented. "I am
also expressing my condolences to the Armenian Foreign Minister,
who let a European official dab him at his cheek," Hovhannisyan said.

Speaking of President Serzh Sargsyan’s latest message to the Armenian
people, Hovhannisyan pointed out that it contained all the concerns
indicated by the opponents. "This means the authorities understand
our concern now. So we should build up pressure for Armenia not to
ratify the protocols. But if they do not listen to the people by
ratifying the protocols, the people will wipe them off," Hovhannisyan
said. Addressing his colleagues, Parliament members, he urged them to
decide on "whether they are with the authorities or with the people."
