RA Foreign Ministry should furnish Turkey with written response
Armenia's Foreign Ministry should make written response to Turkish Foreign Ministry's recent statement, RPA parliamentary group member Gagik Melikyan finds.
"I don't think a phone conversation is enough," he told a joint news conference with ARFD MP Artsvik Minasyan.
Artsvik Minasyan noted for his part that the current negotiations over Armenia-Turkey Protocols pursued a wrong course from the very start, as the process was not made public.
Turkish Foreign Ministry has made official comments on RA CC decision over Protocols. It particularly stated that "the 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. This approach cannot be accepted on our part," runs the release posted on Turkish MFA website.
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.
