Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutiun continues its sit-in and hunger strike in front of Armenian Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in protest against the recently announced Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
ARF picketers think Serzh Sargsyan's pan-Armenian tour will bring no changes in the disputed documents.
"I am well-disposed to Mr. Sargsyan's visits. Moreover, I find them urgent but I doubt whether they will bring any changes. Everything depends on the Diaspora," hunger striker Arshak Sargsian said to A1+.
"Diaspora's pressure will make Serzh Sargsyan correct his past mistakes and draw conclusions though I doubt whether he will abstain from Protocols' signing," says striker Aramayis Mkhitarian.
ARF picketers outside Government Building think President Sargsyan's tour is senseless.
"The visit is imitated since they want to bind their opinion on the Diaspora. But I think the Diaspora will say "no" to the documents. 70 % of Armenian population will not admit the Protocols either. We are not against the frontier reopening we are against the negligence of 1, 5 million massacred Armenians," says Romik Manukian.
The parliaments of Armenia and Turkey are expected to sign the Protocols on October 10.
