Head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Vahan Hovhannisyan said that Armenia should withdraw its signature from the Protocols on normalization of relations with Turkey.

“If Turkey agrees to moderate its preconditions, Armenia will again be under pressure. The foremost task for Yerevan is to resist ratification of the current text of the Protocols. Furthermore, to avoid pressure in Karabakh issue, Armenia had better withdraw its signature,” he said.

According to Mr. Hovhannisyan, Armenian Genocide recognition “would come sooner but for our signature on Protocols.”
