The Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) agrees
to the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols – even if they
were ratified today — but with reservations, stated Armen Rustamyan,
an ARFD Executive Council member and Chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, RA Parliament.

"We object to the Protocols being ratified in their present form,
as they pose a threat to our future and contain preconditions. If
reservations avert the threats, no obstacles to the ratification
remain, and the protocols will be in harmony with the Constitutional
Court’s verdict," Rustamyan said. He stressed that by submitting the
protocols to Parliament President Serzh Sargsyan acted in defiance
of the Constitutional Court’s verdict. "The Constitutional Court
confirmed the constitutionality of the protocols – if, of course,
we accept its opinion," Rustamyan said.

The ARFD also introduced a bill that would entitle the Parliament
to ratify international agreements with reservations, cancel or
suspend them.
