We have no right to comment on CC judgment: Artsvik Minasyan
15:40 / 01/15/2010Asked by NEWS.am correspondent whether CC
interpreted loosely Armenia-Turkey Protocols, ARFD faction MP Artsvik
Minasyan replied: `We have no right to comment on CC judgment, as
having the border closed and diplomatic relations not established,
other obligations under the Protocols are invalid.’
According to him, it is a comment by RA CC and we have no right to
discredit it and if wish to have those comments applicable, they
should come as reservations in RA NA.
There is no provision in Armenia-Turkey Protocols that is stipulated
by another one. At that, all obligations under the Protocols should be
met in case assuming that they are ratified and come into effect.
In response to correspondent’s question that Turkish side might just
as well make comments like while historians’ sub-commission is not
created, other obligations are null and void, Minasyan said: `It that
case it will mean that initially Armenia and Turkey pursued different
objectives and once again prove that Turkey sets forth preconditions.’
