/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Monday, February 15, Heritage parliamentary group
addressed a letter to RA NA chairman Hovik Abrahamyan, offering to
discuss Protocols in all standing committees of Armenian parliament.
"All standing committees of Armenian parliament must be given a
chance to deliver reports on the influence of Protocols on the spheres
they’re engaged in, as Protocols ratification will obviously have a
major influence on them," the message said.
Founded in 2002, Heritage , a National Liberal Party, is national by
its roots, liberal in its economic principle, and an advocate of the
democratic system of governance and due process for its citizens. The
party’s objective is the development of Armenia as a democratic,
lawful, and rights-based country that anchors its domestic and foreign
policies in the nation’s sovereign interest. During the party’s Third
Congress on May 30, 2005, Raffi K. Hovannisian was elected chairman.
The other eight members of the party board were elected by secret vote.
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.
