    RA CC DECISION NOT BINDING UPON TURKEY

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The RA Constitutional Court's decision pursues
    political rather than legal goals, as it is aimed at resolving
    domestic policy issues, Heritage parliamentary group member Stepan
    Safaryan said.

    "The conclusion is not legally binding upon Turkey," he told a news
    conference in Yerevan.

    At that, he noted that recent processes have split Armenian opposition
    into 3 groups - Heritage which is strongly against CC decision, ARFD
    Dashnaktsutyun which is partially satisfied and Armenian National
    Congress which fully supports the process.

    With regard to ARFD's recent statement to continue struggle in
    parliament, Mr. Safaryan found the such efforts fruitless.

    As to Heritage party's plans, the MP said they intend to hold protest
    rallies to neutralize the negative effects of CC decision.

    Founded in 2002, Heritage a National Liberal Party is national by
    its roots, liberal in its economic principle, and an advocate of the
    democratic system of governance and due process for its citizens. The
    party's objective is the development of Armenia as a democratic,
    lawful, and rights-based country that anchors its domestic and foreign
    policies in the nation's sovereign interest. During the party's Third
    Congress on May 30, 2005, Raffi K. Hovannisian was elected chairman.

    The other eight members of the party board were elected by secret vote.

    The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
    the 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.
