Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu once again turned his
attention to the Armenian-Turkish Protocols yesterday. As reported
by Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi, Davutoglu again emphasized
that several issues in Armenian Constitutional Court’s decision were
against the basic philosophy of the rapprochement process.

As previously reported, Anakara’s opinion on the court ruling is that
it contained preconditions and restrictive provisions which contradict
the letter and spirit of the Protocols.

Speaking to private TV station NTV, Davutoglu said that the Protocols
aimed to contribute to the settlement of long-term peace between the
two countries, eliminate prejudices between their respective peoples,
and initiate permanent stability in the region, reports World Bulletin.

The Turkish foreign minister expressed his hope that the Armenian
government will implement the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
