"Article 19 of RA International Agreements’ Law reads: “International agreements are negotiated up to their full signature. Thus, in desired, changes can be made in Armenia-Turkey Protocols,” Vahan Hovhannisyan, Head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun, said at the briefing in RA National Assembly thereby refuting RA MFA previous statements that no amendments can be made in Protocols before signing.

Hovhannisyan emphasized that RA President Serzh Sargsyan did not rule out the possible changes in documents. ARFD leader emphasized the party will struggle for amending the Protocols till the very end and if failed to do so, will do its utmost to torpedo the Protocols’ ratification in the Parliament.

He informed ARFD will join “Heritage” party initiative on political-forces joint statement on Armenia-Turkey Protocols. “I certainly have doubts that any other parliamentary force except ARFD and Heritage joins the statement, but then non-parliamentary parties could get involved,” Vahan Hovhannisyan concluded.
