Representatives of Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsunyun (ARFD), Social Democratic Hnchakyan party (SDHP) and Ramkavar-Azatakan party of Armenia (RAPA) in Canada protested against the issued Protocols, “Horizon” weekly of Canadian Armenians reports.

As a result of the mentioned parties’ meeting in Armenian Centre of Toronto the following statement was released: “Provisions in the Protocols indicate preconditions set forth by Turkey and conflict interests of Armenia and Armenians on the whole. The project obviously tends to prevent the restoration of historical rights and rupture Armenians. Ratification of the Protocols by the countries’ parliaments will be a handicap for Armenians to claim land laws as well as recognition of Genocide (at that all achievements on the international level will be jeopardized). In Addition, the possibilities of Armenia to negotiate on Karabakh peace process will be limited.

This project arising out of its authors’ interests is full of dangerous consequences for century-long struggle of Armenians for independence. We, participants of the meeting call Armenian Government, National Assembly and Armenian nation to refuse the project will all preconditions and pursue the policy of preconditions’ exclusion in normalization of bilateral relations. Turkey’s preconditions refer to the rights of all Armenians. Today is the day of Armenian will triumph.”
