"The decision of the Constitutional Court on Armenia on the
Armenian-Turkish protocols was a rather competent legal assessment
and response to the various comments and disputes in the political
and legal system of Turkey," Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan told a press
conference today. However, this decision does not seem to have caused
serious concerns in Turkey, he said.

"I explain this with the fact that they have not yet managed to
translate the text into Turkish. The interested organizations and
persons have not familiarized themselves with the decision. However,
it has already raised serious concerns among the nationalists, and has
served as a good reason to criticize the authorities. The decision
of the Constitutional Court reaffirmed that Armenians do not refuse
from raising the issues of the Armenian Genocide, Western Armenia
and others."
