Turkey made a historic move signing the Protocols with Armenia in
Zurich, on Oct. 10, 2009. "The protocols envisage the establishment
of diplomatic relations as well as the development of relations
between Ankara and Yerevan. Turkish-Armenian reconciliation reached
a stalemate following the Armenian Constitutional Court's mention of
the recognition of Armenian genocide claims and Yerevan's territorial
claims on Turkey," Zaman daily reports.
"The Armenian Constitutional Court sought to satisfy its domestic
audience as well as the Armenian diaspora. In this sense, it is
correct for us to say that Armenian hard-liners sought to sabotage
the normalization of ties with Turkey. According to several retired
Turkish ambassadors, the Armenian court's decision reflects the
attitude of an amateurish and second-class court," the source reads.
As NEWS.am reported previously, January 12, RA Constitutional
Court ruled Armenia-Turkey Protocols constitutional. January 19,
Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement criticizing the decision
of RA Constitutional Court on Armenia-Turkey Protocols. According
to the statement, it has been observed that this 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.
