Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has understood Armenia’s
Constitutional Court’s decision a little bit better than
Armenia’s foreign ministry, said Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D) Armenian Cause ("Hay Dat") and Political
Affairs Bureau Director Giro Manoyan, while speaking to journalists
today.
Commenting on the Turkish foreign ministry’s announcement
yesterday, the politician considered it to be an attempt at evading
responsibility. "Turkey blames Armenia, but [Turkey] itself hasn’t
begun the process at all," said Manoyan.
"The Constitutional Court, I believe, would do better if, after
all that commentary or placing restictions, generally said that
the Protocols don’t correspond to the Constitution," said the ARF-D
representative, adding that it’s very important that those reservations
play a part in the ratification process.
In addition, Manoyan believes that the Constitutional Court decision
and the subsequent statement by Turkey’s foreign ministry "provide
the possibility for new developments."
