"Armenia initiated reconciliation with Turkey and should continue the
process itself," Republican Party MP Rafik Petrosyan told journalists
on February 17.

"If we started the process, we have to prove that Armenia is ready to
bring this initiative to a close in accordance with Constitution and
its interests," he emphasized adding if Armenia ratifies the Protocols
earlier, than Turkey, it will show international community that keeps
its word and the country’s aspirations are sincere.

According to him, after the consideration by RA NA Standing Committee
on Foreign Relations, the Protocols will unequivocally be ratified
without any reservations. However, the documents will not be discussed
in the Parliament at February 22-25 four-day session. They will be
submitted for discussion three weeks later.
