/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Collaboration between Heritage and ARF Dashnaktsutyun
was based on unacceptance of Armenia-Turkey rapprochement Protocols,
according to Heritage parliamentary group leader Stepan Safaryan.
As he told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Heritage is ready to cooperate
with all political forces of Armenia on the issue. "Yet, the statement
of ARF Dashnaksutyun Bureau member Vahan Hovhannesyan can make us
reconsider our position," he pointed out.
"Heritage does not support Protocols ratification in any form, with
or without reservations," Safaryan emphasized.
The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet
Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks
held through Swiss mediation.
On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country’s Organic Law
