April 24 not deadline for protocols ratification by Turkey
April 24 is an extremely important date with a view to ratification of protocols by Turkey, yet it's not a deadline, an Armenian expert said.
"Turkish diplomacy possesses arsenal of tools and I do not rule out that it may take action on the threshold on the Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day," Ruben Melkonyan said when responding to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question during a news conference in Yerevan on Friday.
Although, he noted, there were motions waiting for consideration in the Turkish Grand Assembly for years.
The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks held through Swiss mediation.
On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country's Organic Law.
