Turkish Foreign Ministry Undersecretary, Feridun Sinirlioglu will meet Switzerland's State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Michael Ambul Friday, February 5.

As Swiss Foreign Ministry spokesman Erik Reumann told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, bilateral meetings of this kind, focusing on bilateral relations, carry regular character. Meeting details will be provided later, he said.

As Turkish media reported earlier, at Bern meeting Feridun Sinirlioglu will voice Ankara’s concerns over the ruling of Armenian Constitutional Court on Armenia-Turkey rapprochement.

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.

Commenting on the CC ruling, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that “the decision contains preconditions and restrictive provisions which impair the letter and spirit of the Protocols.”

”The decision undermines the very reason for negotiating these Protocols as well as their fundamental objective. This approach cannot be accepted on our part. Turkey, in line with its accustomed allegiance to its international commitments, maintains its adherence to the primary provisions of these Protocols. We expect the same allegiance from the Armenian Government,” the Ministry said.
