The requirement on internal political consultations mentioned in Armenian-Turkish Protocols is not fulfilled in Armenia, MP and ARF Dashnaktsutyun bureau member Vahan Hovhannisyan stated in Hayeli club, September 14.

ARFD plans to hold protest actions within next 4-5 weeks that are intended for political consultations. “The Party is not satisfied with so-called discussions. Unlike Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu that meets with political forces, Armenian authorities do not initiate consultations, for no other reason that they realize how weak their arguments are,” MP said. Today ARFD will issue the document with party’s proposals on the Protocols.

In response to the journalist comment that Serzh Sargsyan will meet with political forces in near future Vahan Hovhannisyan replied: “If it happens, it will be welcomed but not sufficient.”

August 31, 2009 Armenian, Turkish and Swiss Foreign Ministries released a statement, mentioning that Armenia and Turkey have agreed to start their internal political consultations on two protocols within 6 weeks.
