It is at least surprising that the Turkish side saw preconditions and conflicts with the main aim of the Armenian-Turkish protocols in the verdict of the RA Constitutional Court, which confirmed the constitutionality of the documents, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated during his telephone talks with Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu.
Minister Nalbandian expressed his surprise at the Turkish Foreign Office’s statement on the RA Constitutional Court’s verdict.
The Armenian FM also voiced his concern over the lack of progress in the ratification process in Turkey since last October. At the same time the Turkish side continues setting preconditions, which creates the impression that Turkey is trying to find pretexts thereby endangering the bilateral normalization process.
Minister Nalbandian welcomed the fact that the Turkish Foreign Office only confirmed the danger of preconditions by making the statement in question. The Armenian FM called on his Turkish counterpart to remain committed to the letter and spirit of the Armenian-Turkish protocols and progress. He also pointed out that the ratification process is progressing in Armenia without any delay. Evidence thereof is the RA Constitutional Court’s verdict, which was actually returned more than a month ahead of schedule.
The Armenian FM stated that the sides must honor their commitments on immediate ratification and enforcement of the protocols, without carrying out any activities aimed at thwarting the process.
