Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman raps Turkish FM's remarks on protocols
[Translated from Armenian]
Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Tigran Balayan has commented on
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's statement that the process
of ratification of the 2009 Armenian-Turkish protocols was halted due
to the Armenian Constitutional Court's decision and that Turkey looked
for "creative ideas" for normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations and
that Azerbaijani-Armenian relations could also benefit from them, the
Mediamax news agency reported on 11 October.
"Four years have passed since the signing of the protocols [on
normalizing relations and establishing diplomatic relations] and
during all four years, we can hear the same old tale of Turkey about
'creative approaches'. These are nothing but continued efforts to
disguise the fact that Turkey thwarted the ratification and
implementation of the protocols without preconditions, contrary to the
expectations of the international community," Mediamax quoted Balayan
as saying.
The website also said that, contrary to the remark by the Turkish
foreign minister, the Armenian Constitutional Court approved the
Protocols on 12 January 2012.
