Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu expressed Turkey’s concerns
about Armenian Constitutional Court’s reasoned verdict on the
protocols between Turkey and Armenia, to U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton over the phone.

According to Foreign Ministry officials, Davutoglu told his U.S.
counterpart that the verdict violated the substance and essence of the
protocols, which Turkey and Armenia initially agreed on for
normalisation of relations.

Davutoglu told Clinton that elements like court decisions should not
be allowed to effect the process. The two agreed to contact
Switzerland, Russia and France to discuss steps to be taken in the
process for normalisation of relations between Turkey and Armenia,
