/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ankara is going to send a legal reasoning on the
Armenian-Turkish Protocols to the Swiss Foreign Ministry, OSCE Minsk
Group Co-chairing countries and the European Union, Hurriyet Turkish
newspaper quoted a diplomatic source as saying.
The document will focus on Armenia's alleged "attempt to avoid
ratification of the Protocols."
According to Hurriyet, the Turkish Foreign Ministry has already
contacted Switzerland, OSCE Minsk Group and the European Union to
express its position on the issue. "The Swiss side described the
resolution of the Armenian Constitutional Court and unexpected and
inadmissible," the report says.
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.
