YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Constitutional Court with its
decision on the Armenian-Turkish protocols corrected and proofread
the mistakes the RA Foreign Ministry had made. Aram Sargsian, the
Chairman of the Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), expressed such an
opinion at a January 19 press conference. In his words, in its time
DPA had warned the authorities that the protocols contain not just
mistakes but such inaccuracies and formulations which are a result
of illiteracy and lack of will. "That is, the representatives of the
state failed to protect state’s interests. Our diplomatic corps proved
to be at a very low level," A. Sargsian concluded.

He answered negatively the question of whether DPA is going to demand
Foreign Ministry officials’ resignation. According to A. Sargsian,
it is up to the RA President to decide the issue of employing or
dismissing these specialists. Meanwhile the DPA leader welcomed RA
President’s policy mentioning that "unlike the previous two Presidents"
S. Sargsyan listens to his opponent’s opinion and only then makes
a decision.
