occupied territories,” said the leader of the Turkish Grand Unity
Party Yalcin Topcu, another Turkish opposition leaders.

from the Karabakh,” Topchu said.
Protocols
Cannot be Changed, Asserts Nalbandian
YEREVAN (Combined
Sources)—Armenian Foreign Minister, Eduard Nalbandian told a session
of parliament Wednesday that the protocols on establishment and
development of relations between Armenia and Turkey cannot be
changed, indicating that any discussion on amending the documents
before signing them is futile.
This was in
response to a question from Armenian Revolutionary Federation bloc
president Vahan Hovannesian, who asked whether the minister was
willing to meet with political parties and organizations to discuss
the protocols and make necessary amendments.
Nalbandian, in his
first discussion about the protocols in parliament, said while he
was willing to discuss the provisions of the protocols with various
political forces and organizations, however the agreed upon
protocols could not be changed.
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation is not demanding
President Serzh Sarkisian’s resignation yet despite its strong
condemnation of his conciliatory policy toward Turkey, a leader of
the influential nationalist party reiterated on Tuesday.
