Planning Pan-Armenian tour, Serzh Sargsyan certainly foresaw everything, even the incidents like those in Paris, Deputy Speaker of RA NA, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) member Samvel Nikoyan told NEWS.am while speaking of the mass protest actions during the meetings of the RA President with Diaspora representatives.

“Leaving Yerevan, President did not hope for the Diaspora to meet him with &‘Hurrah!’ or &‘Bravo!’ chants. However, he was realizing the significance of the tour and decided to take it despite all difficulties,” Nikoyan stated.

According to him, the aim of Sargsyan’s tour is not persuading Diaspora or obtruding his opinion, but to apprise Armenians abroad and international community of the official Yerevan plans.

“President should be primarily governed by the interests of Armenia and its citizens. Even if he does not succeed in convincing Diaspora of Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ signing necessity, they will be signed regardless,” Nikoyan emphasized. The signing process will be natural up to the date of ratification in the two Parliaments. “In here the outcome might be unexpected,” the politician concluded.
