Yerevan (Yerkir) – The Zurich protocols can never be ratified in
the Turkish parliament after the decision of Armenian Constitutional
Court, Turkey’s former ambassador to Washington, former head of Foreign
Ministry’s executive office, MP from CHP Shukru Elekdagh has told APA.

"While reading the decision of the Armenian Constitutional Court,
we see that Kars and Moscow treaties are not effective for them.

Secondly, Armenia will not give up its activity to "prove" the
"genocide" against Armenians in 1915. Thirdly, the historical
commission envisaged in the protocols has no authority to investigate
the events of 1915. For Armenians, Turkey’s eastern provinces are
"Western Armenia". It is claimed that establishment of relations
between Turkey and Armenia are not connected with Karabakh problem.

The text of the protocols signed between Turkey and Armenia are open
for comment," he said.
