ARF Dashnaktsutyun hails positive the fact that Constitutional Court
took note of their letter on Armenia-Turkey Protocols, ARFD member
Armen Rustamyan told the journalists.

According to him, the letter was available to all CC judges. "I
hope our remarks will be taken into consideration and CC will make
a decision in favor of Armenians," Rustamyan said.

Republican Party (RPA) faction Secretary Eduard Sharmazanov stated
that RPA supports Protocols and reckons they contain no preconditions.

"If Turkey wants to speak with Armenia the language of preconditions,
it will get adequate response. Armenia has more rights to ay down
preconditions, as Turkey closed our borders and perpetrated Genocide,
however we settled for a compromise and decided to establish relations
without preconditions. Turkey should recognize Genocide, as its
negation equals to a new one," Sharmazanov underlined.

Speaking of RA CC decision to record the session, MP outlined that
it proceeds from the law meanwhile being reluctant to give political
assessment. Sharmazanov found difficulty in saying what judgment CC
will make.
