/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Non-stipulated legal consequences for failure to
comply with Armenia-Turkey Protocol stipulations is a serious minus
in the document.
"Nothing will prevent Turkey from closing the border the following
day," Richard Giragosian , the Director of Armenian Center for National
and International Studies (ACNIS) told a news conference in Yerevan.
"Turkey is given 60 days to open the border upon Protocols’
ratification, with no legal responsibilities entailed in case of
non-fulfillment. Non-compliance will spell the loss of Armenia’s and
international community’s trust," he noted.
As ACNIS Director emphasized, Armenia will have to reconsider its
position on normalization of ties without preconditions, should Ankara
block the process.
Still, the rapprochement will not resolve internal political problems
in Armenia, he stated.
