/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is experiencing a crucial period, said Hayk
Babukhanyan,the leader of Constitutional Right Union party.

"Two ongoing processes – normalization of relations with Turkey
and Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process -can have fatal
consequences for Armenia," he told a news conference on Friday.

"Turkey hit a deadlock after the RA Constitutional Court delivered its
ruling on the Protocols envisaging normalization of relations between
the two countries. To gain some concessions on Karabakh from Armenia,
Ankara is trying to drag out the ratification of the Protocols,"
Babukhanyan said.

"Armenia should stop following Turkey’s rules of play and urge it
to ratify Protocols till March 1, 2010. If Turkey doesn’t agree,
it will be us to take up the language of preconditions," he concluded.
