Constitutional Court’s decision on Armenian-Turkish protocols set on
foot the process against state interests, told journalists Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Executive Council of Armenia member Armen
Rustamian.

This decision to recognize the Armenian-Turkish protocols conforming
to the Armenian Constitution brings to the force the ratification
process for documents which are contrary to fundamental principles
of Armenian statehood, according to politician.

Rustamian also remind that ARFD protested against interruption of the
process of recognition of 1915 Genocide in Turkey as well as legal
recognition of the border between the countries, and any links with
the Karabakh conflict.

"We are sure that the Constitutional Court has analyzed all facts in
details and had strong reasons and basis for recognition the protocols
as contradictory to the Constitution. However, we think that the
struggle against these documents is bringing positive results,"
he said.

The protocols are result of poor working of Armenian foreign minister,
according to Rustamian.

"We can consider Court’s decision as decision made by whole people.

However, the real battle is yet to come," he said.

Armenian-Turkish reconciliation should not stare Armenia’s interests
in the face, he added.
