/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia's Foreign Ministry should make written
response to Turkish Foreign Ministry's recent statement, RPA
parliamentary group member Gagik Melikyan finds.
"I don't think a phone conversation is enough," he told a joint news
conference with ARFD MP Artsvik Minasyan.
Artsvik Minasyan noted for his part that the current negotiations over
Armenia-Turkey Protocols pursued a wrong course from the very start,
as the process was not made public.
Turkish Foreign Ministry has made official comments on RA CC decision
over Protocols. It particularly stated that "the decision contains
preconditions and restrictive provisions which impair the letter and
spirit of the Protocols"
"The said decision undermines the very reason for negotiating these
Protocols as well as their fundamental objective. This approach
cannot be accepted on our part," runs the release posted on Turkish
MFA website.
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.
