The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (‘Dashnak’) Armenian Parliament
faction has said that Russia is playing a game very dangerous for
Armenia. Chairman of the faction Vahan Hovhannesian thinks that
this will affect the resolution of the Karabakh problem as well as
Armenian relations.

Hovhannesian said that the mediators in the Karabakh conflict
are trying to impose many concessions on Armenia to facilitate
the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols in the Turkish
Parliament. He expressed assurance that the Turkish Parliament will not
ratify these protocols unless Ankara achieves its goals in Karabakh.

Dashnak Party members have many times highlighted the threat from
Russia, in particular in the direction of Turkish-Armenian relations.

Hovhannesian insists that Armenia should be very careful and ask its
strategic partner Russia to meet all its commitments.
