RA NA panel to debate Armenian-Turkish Protocols Feb.19


The Armenian-Turkish Protocols will be debated in the committee on external relations of the RA National Assembly on February 19.

“We offered the parliament speaker to develop a procedure of preliminary discussions,” Armen Rustamyan, chairman of the committee, said.

He emphasized that the discussions will be maximally transparent. “According to the NA charter, international agreements are included in the agenda and then debated during the parliamentary session,” he said.

Mr. Rustamyan added that ARF-Dashnaktsutyun can support ratification of Protocols only in case certain reservations are introduced in them.
