/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In its conclusion, Armenia's Constitutional Court
made clear-cut legal assessment on Armenia-Turkish Protocols, and it's
very good it found documents conformable to Armenia's organic law,
constitutional law expert Vardan Poghosyan finds.
RA CC deprived Turkey of the chance to shift the blame on Armenia
in case of possible failure, he told Thursday a news conference
organized jointly with Vladimir Vardanyan, Head of International
Treaties Department at RA Constitutional Court.
At that, he noted that the court's decision establishes the framework
of relations with Turkey since the conclusion has legally binding
effect on all Armenian senior officials, including the President.
Asked by journalist whether National Assembly should make reservations
to the Protocols, the expert said he saw no such necessity for that
following the verdict of Constitutional Court.
Vladimir Vardanyan noted for his part that the Protocols, like any
other international treaty, were not devoid of shortcomings.
"To make any changes it sis necessary to reject the existing documents
and conclude new ones but that is not realistic," he said.
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 RA Constitutional Court found the documents
conformable to Armenia's Organic Law.
