    Ara Papian, director of the Modus Vivendi Social and Scientific
    Research Center, has sent a letter to Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
    Nalbandian with his arguments on the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

    Mr. Papian advises the Armenian FM to invite him to live debate if
    the latter disagrees with his arguments. "I will take Mr. Nalbandian's
    silence as consent to my arguments," says Mr. Papian.

    On October 1, at the end of parlimentray hearings on the bilateral
    Protocols, the Armenian FM announced: "Wilson's decision has no legal
    force since the U.S. Senate didn't ratify the document. "

    Therefore, Mr. Papian has decided to answer Minister Nalbandian with
    an open letter.

    Ara Papian says the Minister has confused two issues with chronological
    linkage -the issues of Armenia's mandate and borders; hence people
    have arrived at a wrong conclusion.

    With regard to Wilson's decision, Mr. Papian says "any arbitral award
    has a legal force and is a binding document if it is made without
    procedural violations it. Moreover, arbitral awards are final and
    without appeal. The arbitral award is final and binding decision by
    an arbitrator):

    The final and biding essence of arbitral awards is codified in the
    international right, particularly in the Hague Convention for the
    Pacific Settlement of International Disputes.

    Thus, arbitral awards

    1)are final and binding 2)need no ratification or approval

    US President Vudro Wilson has determined the border between Armenia
    and Turkey with his arbitral award which is still in effect and is
    not subject to changes.
