Azerbaijani political expert: Armenian Constitutional Court decision is a political bomb of Armenian justice

“Such interpretation of the Armenian-Turkish protocols is an indication of lawlessness in Yerevan,” Azerbaijani political expert Fikrat Sadigov said commenting on Armenian Constitutional Court’s endorsing the Armenia-Turkey protocols with preconditions.

"Now it is clear why the Armenian-Turkish Constitutional Court approved the Turkey-Armenia protocols so early. The protocols were added preconditions that contradict letter and spirit of the Zurich protocols and actually puts more emphasis on opening of borders with Armenia, while neglecting importance of Yerevan’s performance of its commitments,” the political expert said.

“Such interpretation of the Armenian-Turkish protocols that was not agreed upon while signing the protocols indicates to lawlessness in Yerevan and makes Armenia questionable international negotiator. Thus, Yerevan questions establishment of relations with Turkey which it needs given the complex internal socio-economic and political situation in the country,” the expert added.

“This will certainly affect the negotiations between Yerevan and Ankara. This fact may mark beginning of an end to the Armenian-Turkish normalization, because Armenia is trying to deceive the country with which it previously had reached an agreement. Strange enough,  Yerevan, which opposes any preconditions to the Zurich protocols from Ankara, has itself resorted to such a move. It should be noted that Turkey itself has made amendments to the protocols legally,” the expert said.

"In fact, the Armenia Constitutional Court decision was a political bomb of the Armenian justice and identifies Armenia as a country not ready for relationship on world and regional scale,” the expert noted.
