/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Some tend to view Armenian President’s address
to his Turkish counterpart as pure homage to ethics, yet this is
not exactly so, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader Vahan
Hovhannesyan said.

"President Sargsyan reminded it is Turkey’s turn to undertake steps
towards ratification of Protocols," he told a news conference in
Yerevan. "The President also sought to express apprehensions over
possible failure of rapprochement process, absolving Armenia of
responsibility for it."

The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet
Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks
held through Swiss mediation.

On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country’s Organic Law.
