“If Armenia-Turkey Protocols are signed, we all will enter into a new stage. However there are certain issues to be discussed with our parties. We will jointly decide on the most efficient method to adopt to hinder the Protocols’ legal validation,” ARFD Supreme Board member Armen Rustamyan stated after the joint statement against the Protocols by 11 parties.

Asked whether they offered ANC to join the statement, Rustamyan replied: “We did not appeal to ANC as an entirety, however spoke to some parties’ representatives. The latters also expressed their concern, but presumably did not join us for certain political reasons.”

This issue is not authorities-opposition matter, but the one of our future generations, he concluded.
