Aram Karapetian: "Protocols are changed"
Leader of the New Times Party (NZhK) Aram Karapetian says the texts of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols were changed before the signing in Zurich on October 10.
"The replacement of each word and phrase may change the contents of the Protocols," Arman Karapetian told A1+.
The NZhK Leader has found serious and dangerous changes in the texts of the Protocols posted on the website of the RA Foreign Ministry.
"One of the changes concerns diplomatic relations under which Turkey is empowered to enter Armenia and take military action in order to protect its citizens' rights."
Regarding ARF-Dashnaktsutiun's protests against the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, Mr. Karapetian said: "Unlike the ARF-Dashnaktsutiun I have always said that the burden of the Protocols lies on Serzh Sargsyan. The ratification of the Protocols cannot be hindered unless Serzh Sargsyan resigns office. ARF-Dashnaktsutiun will gain nothing with the calls for Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian's resignation
ARF-Dashnaktsutiun needn't suffice with taking oppositionist's posture. They had better act and I am hopeful that the Party wants to see the disgraceful Protocols rescinded.
Aram Karapetian will continue cooperation with ARF-Dashnaktsutiun and Armenian National Congress (HAK). He says it is high time the HAK spoke up and took measures.
