Will the CC give a chance to authorities?
Upon the initiative of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation -Dashnaktsutyun, 14 political and public organizations today held a rally and march in downtown Yerevan in protest of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
Though the ralliers do not instill much hope in the Constitutional Court, the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun is hopeful that the CC will rescind the documents.
Ramkavar-Azatakan" Political Party Chairman Harutyun Arakelyan, New Times Party Leader Aram Karapetyan and ARF-Dashnaktsutyun representative Armen Rustamyan made addressing speeches.
Aram Karapetyan suggested power change as the way out of "the miserable situation."
"Armenia cannot be ruled by mice. We must put an end to this chaos. Authorities that have put their country for sale have no right to govern," he announced.
Talking to A1+, Aram Karapetyan said he didn't confide in the Constitutional Court.
"The CC will execute the authorities' order and will do whatever is told. During the 45 years of my life it is the first time I rely on Turks," he said.
Heritage faction chairman Armen Martirosyan also sounded skeptical about the protocols.
Ramkavar-Azatakan" Political Party Chairman Harutyun Arakelyan named the acting authorities "story-tellers" and said "people might believe their tales but for the speeches of Erdoğan and Gull."
"If the protocols are ratified in their present format, they will enable the authorities to act in the back of their people. Hence, I urge the Constitutional Court to introduce some reservations in the documents," said ARF-Dashnaktsutyun member Armen Rustamyan.
He reminded that the protocols were signed "at night, in cahoots under the guise of darkness."
"The ratification of the protocols in their present format is not only a diplomatic failure but also an anti-constitutional act," added Mr. Rustamyan.
Tomorrow, ARF-Dashnaktsutyun will stage a protest action in front of the Constitutional Court "to awaken CC's vigilance."
