Turkish Foreign Minister says that Armenia does not display good
intentions towards realization of the Ankara-Yerevan protocols.

"Armenia does not display good intentions towards the Turkey-Armenia
protocols," the Turkish FM said.

On Jan.12, 2009, the Armenian Constitutional Court approved the
compliance of the Ankara-Yerevan protocols with the Armenian
Constitution. However, after the approval the court reported that
creation of a joint commission to study the 1915 events is unnecessary
and Armenian will never refuse from the demand to recognize the
"genocide."

Davutoglu said he expressed his concern over the Armenian
Constitutional Court’s amendments to the protocols during his meeting
with his Armenian Counterpart in London.

Regarding upcoming submission of a bill on the so-called "Armenian
genocide" for consideration by the U.S Congress’ International
Relations Commission Chairman Howard Berman on March 4, Davutoglu
said Armenia impedes the normalization process by raising this issue.
