    CC RULING IS UNTOUCHABLE

    Serzh Sargsyan still hasn't sent the Turkey-Armenia Protocols to
    the National Assembly for ratification. "A1+" asked head of the
    NA committee on state-legal issues David Harutyunyan whether the
    Protocols would be ratified taking the ruling of the Constitutional
    Court as a basis or not.

    "The National Assembly ratifies the Protocols, but by ratifying the
    Protocols, the NA takes into account the court's position from the
    legal angle. Each legal text can be interpreted in different ways. The
    Constitutional Court presented how the texts should be perceived. From
    that angle, I believe that although the NA ratifies the Protocols,
    it definitely takes into account the legal position of the CC",
    said David Harutyunyan.

    David Harutyunyan said that he considered Turkey's claims according to
    which the content of the Protocols has been distorted by the CC ruling
    and that certain preconditions have been added as absurd. "The CC has
    not changed anything in any way. It has specified why it considers
    these Protocols constitutional. I view Turkey's claims as a phony
    means of explaining why they are delaying the ratification."

    Some say that the CC has exceeded its powers by including
    clarifications in the preamble of the decision. David Harutyunyan
    tends to differ: "I view the CC ruling as untouchable in terms
    of legality. I read the ruling very carefully and I think it is
    untouchable in terms of the law, international obligations and that
    it corresponds to the spirit of international treaties. The CC has
    not taken any step toward exceeding its powers. I think the CC has
    applied a very legal technique and I would truly be happy for all
    acts to be untouchable at this level."
