ARMENIAN GOVERNMENT EXPECTED PROCESS FOLLOWING CONSTITUTIONAL COURT'S DECISION: SAFARYAN
Tert.am
14:01 ~U 20.01.10
According to Heritage Party parliamentary faction leader Stepan
Safaryan, the process which began with the Constitutional Court's
decision was expected and accounted for by Armenia's governing
leadership.
"The Constitutional Court, with its decision, recognized the Protocols
to correspond with the Constitution, but, at the same time, attempted
to bring forth Turkey's wrath. With Yerevan's estimations, Turkey will
read this decision, become indignant, [and] speak of preconditions,
which will provide grounds for Yerevan to raise the issue of both
Turkey and Armenia resigning from preconditions. But even if this
scenario comes into effect, Turkey and Armenia can be compelled to
endorse the Protocols - without ratification, and resigning from
the Nagorno-Karabakh precondition," said Safaryan, in speaking with
Tert.am.
However, in Safaryan's opinion, nothing will come of this since what
is written in the Protocols and relates to the recognition of the
border between the two countries and the creation of a commission
of historians will remain unchanged. As noted by the Heritage Party
representative, "those are already not preconditions, but conditions."
