It is at least surprising that the Turkish side saw preconditions
and conflicts with the main aim of the Armenian-Turkish protocols
in the verdict of the RA Constitutional Court, which confirmed
the constitutionality of the documents, RA Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian stated during his telephone talks with Turkish FM Ahmet
Davutoglu.
Minister Nalbandian expressed his surprise at the Turkish Foreign
Office's statement on the RA Constitutional Court's verdict.
The Armenian FM also voiced his concern over the lack of progress
in the ratification process in Turkey since last October. At the
same time the Turkish side continues setting preconditions, which
creates the impression that Turkey is trying to find pretexts thereby
endangering the bilateral normalization process.
Minister Nalbandian welcomed the fact that the Turkish Foreign Office
only confirmed the danger of preconditions by making the statement in
question. The Armenian FM called on his Turkish counterpart to remain
committed to the letter and spirit of the Armenian-Turkish protocols
and progress. He also pointed out that the ratification process is
progressing in Armenia without any delay. Evidence thereof is the RA
Constitutional Court's verdict, which was actually returned more than
a month ahead of schedule.
The Armenian FM stated that the sides must honor their commitments
on immediate ratification and enforcement of the protocols, without
carrying out any activities aimed at thwarting the process.
