Despite ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s demands to recognize non-conformity of Armenian-Turkish protocols with RA Constitution, Armenia’s Constitutional court chose a different course, yet created a basis for relevant reservations. This said the ARFD Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan.

“There are two logical ways out of this process for Armenian authorities. First, as the operating RA Law on international agreements prohibits the RA National Assembly from inserting reservations, appropriate amendments should be made to the Law,” Rustamyan noted. “Second, using juridical resolution of RA Constitutional Court as a basis, Armenian President can himself offer reservations to be introduced into the protocols.”

“Otherwise, ARFD will launch a procedure to annul the Protocols, what in political terms means to topple the power,” he stated.

The protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of the common border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu on October 10, 2009. This happened after a series of diplomatic talks held through Swiss mediation.

On this January 12 the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country’s Organic Law.

Timeline

In March, The New York Times reported that a long-hidden official document from the Ottoman Interior Minister, Talaat Pasha, detailing the deportations of 972,000 Ottoman Armenians from 1915 through 1916 has been unearthed.  

According to a long-hidden document that belonged to the interior minister of the Ottoman Empire, 972,000 Ottoman Armenians disappeared from official population records from 1915 through 1916, the NY Times said. The document was published by Turkish author and columnist, Murat Bardakci.

The documents, given to Mr. Bardakci by Mr. Talat's widow, Hayriye, before she died in 1983, include lists of population figures. Before 1915, 1,256,000 Armenians lived in the Ottoman Empire, according to the documents. The number plunged to 284,157 two years later, Mr. Bardakci said.
