Ruzan Arakelyan, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) parliamentary faction, believes it is quite normal that the members of the Heritage faction should not join the ARF-organized actions for amending the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

According to her, the Heritage Party “has its own will” though the Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovhannisyan put his signature to the proposed amendments.

In her turn, the member of the Heritage faction Zaruhi Bostanjyan pointed out that the party has its own program concerning the Armenian-Turkish Protocols. The party proposed starting parliament hearings from October 1. The party also proposed that the Government hold a referendum on the Protocols, as well as on the confidence in the President. Moreover, the party applied to the RA Constitutional Court for organizing a discussion on the basis of the Regulations of the RA National Assembly. The RA Parliament is supposed to make an appraisal of the Protocols.

In response, Arakelyan accused Bostanjyan of not “averting the threats [she herself is] creating.”

Bostanjyan pointed out that many more people would join the ARF’s actions of protest if they had greater confidence in the ARF leaders.
