There will be no hearings in the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia on the draft NA statement "On Conceptual Provisions of Armenia-Turkey Relations" that were scheduled for Thursday.

The draft was tabled by the opposition "Armenia" Faction, and the invitation to these hearings was posted on the NA website a few days ago.

"The requirements provided by law were met, and the leadership of the National Assembly had given permission to hold hearings. But at the last moment they argued that the technical staff was not in Yerevan, they could not serve. Despite our urgings that we will provide the technical part and there will be a live broadcast, we received a refusal,” "Armenia" Faction MP Gegham Manukyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“They have proposed to hold the hearings another day after April 24 [i.e., the Armenian Genocide commemoration day]. Perhaps the National Assembly of Armenia avoids organizing any public event on the Armenian-Turkish relations in the parliament until April 24, so as not to anger the Turkish authorities and Azerbaijan, which are talking to them as if without preconditions," Manukyan added.
