Turkish media report that RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian had
a phone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu.
Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Burak Ozugergin said that RA
Foreign Minister expressed his concern over the statement issued by
Turkish Foreign Ministry.
Asked whether the phone conversation has really taken place, the Head
of Media Relations Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of Armenia, Tigran Balayan said: "We’ll properly inform about the
Minister’s contacts."
The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement Monday,
saying the decision of the Armenian Constitutional Court "contains
preconditions and restrictive provisions which impair the letter and
spirit of the Protocols."
In response to that, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
said he would contact his Turkish counterpart to express his doubts,
and clarify where in the decision of the Constitutional Court of
Armenia the Turkish side sees preconditions and how they contradict
the fundamental objective of the Protocols.
