According to the ARF parliamentary member Artsvik Minasyan, there are
political forces wanting to humiliate the decision of the
Constitutional Court and trying to justify in front of Turkey as if it
is a home act and does not have anything in common with international
relations. We have to strive to achieve the three legal provisions of
the CC decision: genocide, Karabakh and Western Armenia recognition.
If the sides and the international community note that there is no
precondition in the protocols, so it will be strange if the National
Assembly does not make restrictions, says Minasyan.

The RP parliamentary member Gagik Melkonyan considered the decision of
the Constitutional Court as a cold shower for a series of Armenian
political forces as well as Turkey which always tries to impose
preconditions on Armenia. `I am not inclined to thinking that the CC
registered preconditions by its decision. The main aim of the
protocols is to establish relations and to open the borders’, says
Gagik Melkonyan.

As to the fact that Turkey sees preconditions in the CC decision,
according to Gagik Melkonyan, independently from the CC decision,
Turkey would find a reason to protract the ratification. Turkey is
obliged to ratify the protocols and it will fulfill its duties up to
the end though it will try to protract the process.
