initiated preliminary discussion on Armenia-Turkey Protocols on
Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Republic of Armenia
and the Republic of Turkey and on Development of Relations between the
Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Turkey."
Committee Chairman Armen Rustamyan suggested requesting NA Speaker

Head Committee issues its conclusion.
By the NA time-limit, NA Speaker can put the issue under consideration
at any moment without waiting for the conclusion of the committee.
The committee voted for Rustamyan’s proposal.
All factions were instructed to submit their stance on the hearings
with the committee chair on Monday.
