/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "To the best of my understanding, Armenian leadership
has admitted the existence of precondition in Armenian-Turkish
Protocols. They just insist on finding flexible methods for
establishing secure relations with Turkey, so to say," Heritage
faction MP Larisa Alaverdyan told a parliament briefing on October 30.

At that she noted that the faction had proposed a legislative
initiative on introducing amendments to RA Law of Holidays and
Commemoration Days. Authors propose that April 24 be marked as day of
commemoration of victims of Armenian Genocide and condemnation for
depriving Armenians of their homeland. "We are convinced that the
draft law will essentially change Armenia’s position, so no wonder
that the term President has been recently used by President as well,"
Ms. Alaverdyan said.

To journalists’ question on party’s attitude to ARFD-proposed bill
on Establising Punishment for Genocide Denial, she answered that
Heirtage had made positive response to that since it coincided with
its programs.
