There is a red tent in front of "Garegin Nzhdeh" metro station reading "Petition" and "No to ratification".

The Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun is once again holding a petition against the ratification of the Turkey-Armenian Protocols in different districts of Yerevan. However, as the organizers say, there are not too many people participating in the petition.

"The majority of people are active, but there are also those who perhaps have lost faith and are indifferent not only to national issues, but other issues as well. They are indifferent and desperate due to the government's actions. They are not sure whether their voices will be heard or not," member of the ARF's "Aram Yerkanyan" committee of Shengavit district Hrant Serobyan told "A1+".

"Turkey is proposing preconditions, including handing of Karabakh, forgetting about the genocide, recognition of Turkey's current borders so that we will put our claims aside," said Hrant Serobyan.

Serobyan hopes the NA deputies will be patriotic and conscious enough to hear the demands of voters and not ratify the Protocols.

The Dashnaks had organized another petition last fall against the signing of the Turkey-Armenia Protocols.
