/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Unlike Armenian parliament, which is in a
permanent standby, Turkish parliament is more active and knows
what its doing, Heritage opposition faction MP Larisa Alaverdyan
told a news conference in Yerevan, commenting on RA-Turkey Protocols
ratification process. According to her, Armenian Parliament’s position
meets Turkey’s interests, showing who exactly controls the ball,
speaking in football diplomacy terms. "I don’t care about the steps
Turkish Parliament will undertake, I’m interested in RA NA’s steps,"
Larisa Alaverdyan stated, adding that Armenian National Assembly must
depend on its own decisions only.

Dwelling on USA’s position in rapprochement process, Alaverdyan noted
that its actions suggest intention to influence Armenia’s or Turkey’s
actions, despite Turkey’s trying to pursue its own policy. According
to the parliamentarian, Turkey managed to delay Armenian Genocide
recognition issue for another year.
