"The National Assembly should give a political assessment to the
Armenian-Turkish Protocols signed with numerous procedural violations,"
Chairman of the Heritage Faction Stepan Safaryan announced today.

He reminded that the Protocols had been forwarded from one institute
to another "to remove blemishes from them."

Stepan Safaryan also noted that the Constitutional Court only
considered the conformity of the Protocols with the country’s Organic
Law without any reference to the procedural violations.

In his speech ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Chairman Vahan Hovhannisyan said that
the CC had clarified the contents of the Protocols – establishment
of diplomatic ties and border reopening. Mr. Hovhannisyan also added
that the Protocols should be viewed with the CC decision including
the preamble.

"As any other structure in the country, the Constitutional Court has
a long path to pass, hence one needn’t take a CC decision as genuine
truth," he said.

NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan listened to all speeches without any
remark.
