The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) played a key role in drafting the Turkish-Armenian protocols, and the RPA parliamentary faction will certainly vote for the document," Chairman of the RPA parliamentary faction Galust Sahakyan said.
He pointed out that the RPA has from the very outset been for ratification within a reasonable timeframe.
“As to the other parliamentary forces, I think each of them will vote in conformity with their beliefs,” Sahakyan said.
Secretary of the faction Eduard Sharmazanov said that he, as well as the ruling party, has been supportive of President Serzh Sargsyan’s policy of initiatives over the last year and a half.
“The RPA remains committed to its stance.”
“RPA is not a party changing its views every week. At the RPA Council’s sitting held before the protocols were signed, we stated our opinion and have not changed it,” Sharmazanov said.
Armenian Constitutional Court ruled the Turkish-Armenian protocols constitutional on Jan. 12.
