The Protocols "On the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations" and
"On Development of Relations" between Armenia and Turkey are already
submitted to the RA National Assembly, RA Presidential press secretary
Samvel Farmanyan told NEWS.am.
According to him, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will act as
President’s representative at the hearings in RA Parliament.
Under the procedure, within two day RA Parliament Speaker Hovik
Abrahamyan should appoint a commission to consider the Protocols,
RA National Assembly press service informed NEWS.am.
Speaking in the Chatham House-Royal Institute of International Affairs
in London, RA President Serzh Sargsyan said that he would instruct
his staff to submit the Armenia-Turkey protocols to the Armenian
National Assembly for the ratification process to be initiated.
President also noted that RA CC judgment was in the President’s
Office, and the whole package of documents ready for submission to
the Parliament. "I reiterate that I rule out any possibility of the
Armenian Parliament failing to ratify the protocols in case Turkey
ratifies the protocols without preconditions, as agreed," he said.
