Rasim Musabeyov Political scientist Rasim Musabeyov thinks that the
Constitutional Court's decision will have positive results for Armenia.
"Serzh Sargsyan's government needs in that. Otherwise foreign
minister and Sargsyan should explain why they sign anti-Constitutional
document". Musabeyov said if there was no such decision, Armenia would
be with mask off before the international community. "Ratification of
the protocols at the parliament could be prolonged. Armenia will try
to make it in parallel with Turkey. There could be protest actions by
Armenian opposition and Diaspora. In any case, the Armenians intend
to demonstrate that "we make great concessions so difficult for us".
"The processes around the opening of Turkish-Armenian borders are
conducted under the US influence therefore the United States is
making all efforts to ratify the protocols at the parliaments of both
countries and to restore the relations", political scientist Vafa
Guluzadeh told. He said he thought at the very beginning that the
protocols would be signed and ratified. "They will search different
ways that Turkey explains its actions. Turkey intends that Moscow
makes concession and at least occupied territories of Azerbaijan
are liberated. But I don't believe that Moscow will agree with that
because the occupation was built by Russia, and if one stone of that
"building" is pulled out it will collapse. Therefore Turkey cannot
hope that it can liberate at least one region and then open borders
with Armenia. They will force Turkey to open the borders. I said at
the very beginning that the opening of borders didn't concern Karabakh
problem because the United States knew that Russia would never allow
liberation of Nagorno Karabakh and surrounding regions". Guluzadeh
called protests of Armenian opposition and Diaspora against the
Constitutional Court's decision a show.
Political scientist Ilgar Mammadov said that the Constitutional
Court's decision was an important half-step by Armenia toward peace
and stability in the South Caucasus. "It was not exceptional that
Armenia made this step. There is ratification of the document by the
parliament ahead. It needs in political will and then the borders
will be opened legally". Regarding the protests against the protocols,
Mammadov said Armenian Diaspora and opposition should understand that
the country is very bad economic and social situation. "Any government
should search way out from such situation as Sargsyan does that.
Armenia's GDP fell 18 % and worsened the situation. Armenia needs
at least in 3-5 billion additional income a year and opposition or
Diaspora couldn't solve this problem. Therefore Sargsyan's government
was forced to do that and it was caused by Armenia's worsening
economic situation".
