April 29, 2013 | 12:23
YEREVAN.- Heritage party MP said shameful Armenia-Turkey protocols
must be withdrawn from the agenda of the Armenian parliament.
Speaking in the parliament on Monday, Zaruhi Postanjyan called on
parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan to take moves to remove protocols
from the parliament's agenda.
In response, Speaker Abrahamyan said withdrawal of the protocols is
beyond his power.
"Being a speaker of the National Assembly, you have leverage to
struggle for withdrawal of the documents," Postanjyan said, addressing
Abrahamyan. She urged to be more active, to organize protest actions
to avoid including similar documents in parliament's agenda.
However, speaker Abrahamyan did not agree with the assessments,
adding that it would be possible to develop economy if the protocols
were ratified by the parliaments of two states.
"The protocols have no relation to the Genocide or political
processes. The borders should have been opened without any
preconditions. This would have a good affect on the development of
economy," he added.
