Armen Rustamyan presented Wednesday the statement of ARFD, containing
comments on the RA Constitutional Court's resolution on conformity
of the Armenia-Turkey protocols with the RA Organic Law.
ARDF statement says that RA Constitutional Court had enough factual
grounds to find the Protocols not appropriate.
"Both Armenia and Diaspora reaped positive results from anti-protocol
protest rallies. Resolution of Constitutional Court is the first factor
proving that only settlement of diplomatic relations and opening
of border can be the subject of negotiations. RA CC also addressed
the main apprehensions over the protocols, and thus created certain
preconditions for reservations to be introduced by Armenia We could
smooth over apprehensions, if some restrictions are introduced while
ratifying protocols," the statement says.
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.
