Armenia to send protocols with Turkey to parliament

11 February 2010 / TODAY’S ZAMAN WITH WIRES, İSTANBUL
Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan on Wednesday said he will submit protocols signed by Turkey and Armenia for the normalization of bilateral relations between the two estranged neighbors to the Armenian parliament for ratification. He said, however, that he expected Turkey to ratify and start implementing the protocols before Armenia.

Speaking during a working visit to London, Sarksyan also dismissed Ankara’s negative reaction to a ruling of the Armenian constitutional court last month on the two protocols.

“After this meeting at Chatham House, I intend to instruct my personnel to send these documents to Armenia’s National Assembly to start the ratification process,” he said in a speech at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, a London-based think tank also known as Chatham House.

“I reaffirm that as the political leader of the [Armenian] parliamentary majority, I exclude [the possibility of] a failure by Armenia’s parliament to ratify the protocols in the event of their ratification by Turkey without preconditions in accordance with our understandings,” he said.
