    GALUST SAHAKYAN: ARMENIAN-TURKISH BORDER MAY BE OPENED BEFORE RATIFICATION OF PROTOCOLS

    ArmInfo. The Armenian-Turkish border may be opened even before
    ratification of the Protocols, deputy Chairman of the Republican
    party of Armenia Galust Sahakyan told journalists today.

    "So, the Armenian-Turkish process has already overstepped ratification,
    as the Armenian-Turkish border may be opened before ratification
    of the Protocols signed in Zurich. The Armenian diplomacy has done
    its part, and the process is moving forward in accordance with the
    international law", he said.

    On January 12, Constitutional Court of Armenia recognized the
    commitments, fixed in the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, meeting
    Armenia's Constitution. According to CC decision, the commitments,
    established by the Protocols, are of mutual interstate nature and
    cannot cover the third countries. CC also noted that opening of the
    Armenian- Turkish border is a priority provision of the Protocols,
    and all the other commitments acquire legal force only in case of
    the borders opened. After that, Turkish FM said in its statement that
    the decision of Armenia's CC on recognition of the Armenian-Turkish
    Protocols complying with the Constitution contains preconditions and
    restriction provisions, which do not meet the Protocols signed in
    Zurich on October 10, 2009. The both documents must be approved by
    the two countries' parliaments to take effect.
