"Turkey's assertion that the decision of the Armenian Constitutional
Court contains preconditions or does not comply with the
Armenian-Turkish protocols is an absurd," Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian told a press conference today.
Minister Nalbandian assured that "Armenia follows the letter and
spirit of the protocols, and the opinion of the Turkish side that
Armenia drags the ratification of the protocols is incorrect."
"The Constitutional Court announced the decision very early, although
it could wait for a month. We hope that the Turkish side will not
seek for artificial excuses in order not to ratify the protocols. I
don't think the international community will understand the attempts
of Turkey to lay the burden on Armenia in case of a failure," the
Minister said.
What developments should be expected in the Armenian-Turkish
relations? Could there be a failure? "Of course, failure is possible
in case they continue speaking the language of preconditions and
prevent progress. That is to say, no one can be 100% confident how
the process is going to develop," Edward Nalbandian said.
