`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.
