SERZH SARGSYAN IS RESPONSIBLE

ARF representatives are silently awaiting the decision of the
Constitutional Court with signs reading "No concessions to Turkey",
"CC, refute the anti-constitutional Protocols" without any screams
and are more active when it comes to the issue of the Turkey-Armenia
Protocols.

"Why should I believe in the CC when it hasn’t met anybody’s
expectations to date? I think that we must demand Serzh Sargsyan’s
resignation. He is the one responsible for all this and any reasonable
person knows that. The rest are doing what he says and that is my
personal opinion. I don’t understand Serzh Sargsyan’s policies. If he
is not thinking about the fate of the nation, he doesn’t deserve to be
the leader of this nation," ARF representative Susanna Poghosyan told
"A1+" today.

Although protester Aramayis Melikyan doesn’t trust the CC, he hasn’t
lost all hope either. "I hope, but am not certain. The entire nation
demanded not to sign the Protocols, but the authorities ignored
the people’s demand. I don’t think the CC will make a decision that
differs from that of the authorities."

Dashnak Margarita Petrosyan hopes that the CC will realize the
importance of its decision. "I simply believe that the remorse of
the CC members will awaken at the last minute. After all, this is an
issue of the fate of an entire nation."

If the CC doesn’t recognizes the Turkey-Armenia Protocols as
anti-constitutional either, according to protester Boris Lazarian,
it will mean that the CC has also joined the RA authorities’ plan of
removing Armenians from Armenia.

U.S.-based Vardges Hakobyan traveled to Yerevan today to take part in
today’s protest near the CC. "I am not against the establishment of
relations with Turkey, but our neighbor Turkey must recognize the
atrocities committed in 1915. Does this mean that we must forget
Western Armenia or the massacres of one and a half million Armenians?

There can be no such thing. Turkey should learn from Germany, which
recognized the Jewish Holocaust. Turkey should recognize the Armenian
Genocide and after that, we can talk about development of relations.

Our authorities must take into account that if they are signing
something, they have no right not to deprive us Diaspora Armenians of
our rights. The person who is responsible for this is Serzh Sargsyan.

The Foreign Minister can’t do anything without him. We want the
administration to change. Let them accept their flaws and leave."
