    FIRST STAGE OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS FAILED THROUGH TURKEY'S FAULT

    ArmInfo. The first stage of the Armenian-Turkish relations
    ended in fiasco through Turkey's fault, Director of the Genocide
    Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan told journalists today.

    There are at least two reasons for such a failed policy conducted by
    Ankara. First, Turkey could not stand to Azerbaijan's loss, second,
    Turkey counted on achieving from the Protocol process at least
    suspension of the process of international recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide and advancement in the Karabakh issue. It did not happen,
    so Turkey has failed the process", he said and added that in case
    if the second stage of the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement starts,
    that may quite happen under the influence of the third parties, the
    Protocols cannot be a basis for that any more, since they are fully
    devaluated by Ankara's non-constructive actions.

    On April 22, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan signed a decree on
    suspension of the process of ratification of the Armenian-Turkish
    Protocols. However, Armenia retains its signature under the
    Protocols trying to preserve an opportunity of rapprochement with
    Turkey. On January 12, Constitutional Court of Armenia recognized
    the commitments, fixed in the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, meeting
    Armenia's Constitution. According to CC decision, the commitments,
    established by the Protocols, are of mutual interstate nature and
    cannot cover the third countries. CC also noted that opening of the
    Armenian-Turkish border is a priority provision of the Protocols,
    and all the other commitments acquire legal force only in case of
    the borders opened. After that, Turkish FM said in its statement that
    the decision of Armenia's CC on recognition of the Armenian-Turkish
    Protocols complying with the Constitution contains preconditions and
    restriction provisions, which do not meet the Protocols signed in
    Zurich on October 10, 2009. The both documents must be approved by
    the two countries' parliaments to take effect.
