The Armenian-Turkish protocols contain not only unacceptable
provisions, but also incorrect wordings, Aram Sargsyan, Chairman of
the Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA) told a press conference.
According to him, this fact alone is sufficient for the RA
Constitutional Court to invalidate the documents as unconstitutional.
If Armenia ratifies the protocols, it will lose the reputation of a
"serious state," which is actually abandoning its policy of getting
Turkey to admit the Armenian Genocide.
The DPA leader also addressed the assurances by the Armenian
authorities, which do not see any problem in the point on mutual
recognition of the present-day Armenian-Turkish border. "The Armenian
authorities are claiming the border was recognized long ago, but
what is then the reason for Turkey's insistence on this point in
the documents that are to be ratified by the two Parliaments?" asked
Aram Sargsyan.
He considers it unacceptable for Armenia to sign the documents in
their present form. In this context, Sargsyan stated that the DPA
intends to discuss the current situation and further steps with the
other political forces - the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF),
New Times Party, Heritage Party and others.
