What's the use of the laws?
"No one pays attention to public opinion when discussing issues of national security," says Heritage party member Stepan Safaryan.
A joint Armenian-Turkish statement in Switzerland on the normalisation of bilateral relations took many people unawares, including the Coalition forces.
Actually, explanations were given only three days later, during a sitting of the national council.
Recently, after making amendments to the law on "Referendum," the National Assembly passed a law and chose a plebiscite tool to divulge public opinion. But what's the use of the law and the tool if they ignore public opinion when discussing issues of national importance?
With regard to the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border Mr. Safaryan said: "Turkey was to open the border first to prove that it is well-disposed towards Armenian people and no longer thinks of punishing and isolating Armenians."
