ARFD against referendum on Armenian-Turkish protocols
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau representative Hrant Markarian doesn't consider it necessary to conduct a referendum on Armenian-Turkish protocols. "I believe neither referendum nor documents' ratification in RA Parliament are the right solution," Hrant Markarian told a news conference in Yerevan. According to him, tradition of free and fair elections has not yet been formed in Armenia. Besides, Dashnaktsutyun representative emphasized that, it would be more correct for RA President to consult with RA's political forces. "Parties should come to an agreement on the issue as a result of consultations, trying to disregard mutual disagreements existing," Markarian said.
