/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Despite ARF Dashnaktsutyun's demands to recognize
non-conformity of Armenian-Turkish protocols with RA Constitution,
Armenia's Constitutional court chose a different course, yet created
a basis for relevant reservations, ARFD Supreme Body representative
Armen Rustamyan said.
"There are two logical ways out of this process for Armenian
authorities. First, as the operating RA Law on international agreements
prohibits the RA National Assembly from inserting reservations,
appropriate amendments should be made to the Law," Armen Rustamyan
noted. "Second, using juridical resolution of RA Constitutional Court
as a basis, Armenian President can himself offer reservations to be
introduced into the protocols."
"Otherwise, ARFD will launch a procedure to annul the Protocols, what
in political terms means to topple the power," Armen Rustamyan stated.
The protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the common border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich
by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish
counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of
diplomatic talks held through Swiss mediation.
On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country's Organic Law.
