/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian-Turkish Protocols will be submitted to
the RA National Assembly on Friday.
"It is a mere procedure. The Armenian National Assembly will not debate
the Protocols unless the Turkish parliament ratifies them," Galust
Sahakyan, head of RPA parliamentary group told reporters in Yerevan.
"Our patience wears thin. If Turkey goes on at that rate, signatures
can be recalled," Mr. Sahakyan said.
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.
