Armenian, Turkish constitutions demand no ratification: ARFD
15:27 / 09/26/2009

Neither Armenian, nor Turkish constitution demands ratification of the
Protocols by the Parliament. September 26, the Head of the Hay Dat
(Armenian Cause) Office Giro Manoyan told the journalists, underlining
that `Turkey succeeded in including the ratification provision in the
documents, which means infinite protraction of the process.’

`It is absolute nonsense to consider Karabakh issue not mentioned in
the Protocols an achievement. In the course of negotiations Turkey
repeatedly speaks of Karabakh and we unfortunately obey,’ Manoyan
stated.

Presenting ARFD’s position on the issue, Manoyan underlined that
Armenian side should not sign the Protocols without making certain
amendments. If the Protocols are signed, they should not be submitted
to ratification. According to him, Armenian Government should assume
the responsibility partly, reserving the possibility of correcting the
errors.
