American Society of International Law and The George Washington
University Law School will hold its Third Seminar on Turkey Protocols:
Reality and Myths in Jacob Burns Moot Courtroom, The George Washington
University Law School, Washington, DC, on January 25.

Professor Catherine Kessedjian (Pantheon-Assas University, Paris,
France) and International Law Professor Sean Murphy (Patricia Roberts
Harris Research Professor of Law, GWU Law School) are invited as
guest speakers.

The previous panel discussions were held in George Washington
University (November 2009) and Fordham Lincoln University (New York,

Policy Forum Armenia is an independent professional non-profit
association aimed at strengthening discourse on Armenia’s public
policy.

The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet
Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks
held through Swiss mediation.

On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country’s Organic Law.
