Armenia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edward Nalbandian, had a
phone conversation with his Turkish colleague, Ahmet Davutoglu, said
spokesperson for Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Burak Ozugergin,
reports Turkish new agency Anadolu Ajansi.
Ozugergin noted that during the phone discussion, which was initiatied
by the Armenian side, Davutoglu referred to Turkey's unease in the
Armenian Constitutional Court's decision on the Armenian-Turkish
Protocols.
Davutoglu said that the Court's decision, which contains preconditions
and restrictive commentary, is unacceptable for Turkey. Furthermore,
noting that Turkey continues to remain committed not only to the
constructive working disposition of the negotiating process, but also
to the "letter and spirit" of the signed Protocols, Turkey's foreign
minister said that he expects the same resoluteness and necessary
political will from Armenia's governing leaders.
Davutoglu considered Armenia's accusations that Turkey is dragging
out the negotiating process to be unfounded, and reminding Nalbandian
that the Protocols have already been passed to Turkey's Grand National
Assembly, noted that Armenia is far behind Turkey when it comes to
the parliamentary process.
