February 15, RA National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan introduced Armenia-Turkey Protocols on the normalization of relations to RA Parliament.

In his February 10 speech at Chatham House in London RA President Serzh Sargsyan said he was going to instruct presidential staff to submit the Armenia-Turkey Protocols to the National Assembly for the ratification process to be initiated. On February 12, the Protocols were already in RA National Assembly.

RA NA Speaker appointed a Standing Committee on Foreign Relations as head commitee to consider the Protocols. The committee is chaired by Armen Rustamyan from Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun. It is unclear when the discussions will begin.

“Heritage” parliamentary faction offered RA NA Speaker to discuss the Protocols in all committees.
