In his address to people President disclosed Dashnaktsutyun's concerns
Recent discussions in Armenia and Diaspora over RA-Turkish Protocols revealed serious concerns over documents which contain all three preconditions satisfying Turkey , Kiro Manoyan, ARFD Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office director, told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Such concern was also expressed by President during his October 10 address. Serzh Sargsyan disclosed the threats and preconditions voiced by Dashnaktsutyun. We are confident that if President had assumed such stance earlier, Protocols wouldn't have been signed," ARFD says in a statement. Dashnak activists also claim that that all Armenian officials, as well as those who support signed Protocols should have supported such position.

On October 10, RA President Serzh Sargsyan addressed the following statement to Armenian people, "The whole world became aware that RA-Turkish relations involve not only 3 million Armenian residents, but also 10 million Armenians all over the world. Armenian nation is united in its goals, and attempts to separate Armenia and Diaspora are useless. Independence requires the will and determination for brave decisions, realism and consistent work. I've chosen this way and did it with a deep sense of responsibility and belief in Armenia's future. I'd like to once again emphasize that any relations with Turkey can't question the veracity of Armenian Genocide. Intergovernmental committee's subcommission is not a historical committee. The issue on the absence of borders between Armenia and Turkey is to be resolved in accordance with international legislation. RA-Turkey relations are not linked to NKR conflict settlement".
