Parliamentarians have launched discussions on draft law on "Making
amendments to the law on international treaties", presented by the
Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian.

The amendments assume suspension and annulation of international
treaties. The initiative over withdrawal may be submitted by the
RA President, PM, FM or a liable institution that represents proper
substantiation to the MFA. Following this, MFA official submits the
substantiations to President within a term of 10 days and the latter
makes a final resolution.

NA Heritage faction member Armen Martirosyan recalled President
Sargsyan’s statement pledging to withdraw from the Armenian-Turkish
normalization process, basing on the amendments made, providing the
Turkish party suspends the process.

"If needed, we will undertake steps towards this," FM Nalbandian said.
