"The majority of Republicans stand for the ratification of the
Armenian-Turkish protocols," Vice-Chairman of the National Assembly’s
Standing Committee on Human Rights Defense and Public Affairs Rafik
Petrosyan told a press conference today.

"I think the protraction of the process is not necessary. I think
Armenia should hold the initiative till the end. It’s my personal
opinion and the opinion of the majority of the Republicans. The
Republican faction is always ready to consider the protocols in the
National Assembly and ratify those. The more we drag the process,
the worse. We must make it clear to the international community
that Armenia does what it says, while the opposite side is cunningly
dragging out and hindering the process," Rafik Petrosyan said.
