Recognition of Treaty of Kars to be violation of Armenian Constitution
Turkish media are circulating rumors about soonest recognition of Treaty of Kars by Armenia.
"Presently, the dividing line through the rivers of Araks and Akhryan does not have the status of state border. The Armenian-Turkish border determined by Woodrow Wilson arbitration award which served as legal decision for a number of countries, including Armenia and Turkey," Ara Papian, head of Modus Vivendi research center, told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"It means that President Wilson's arbitration award doesn't only recognize the right of the Republic of Armenia to certain territories but also obliged Armenia to observe international norms," he said.
"Recognition of Treaty of Kars will be violation of article 49 of the RA Constitution. President of Armenia is the guarantor of independence, territorial integrity and security of the republic. Recognition of an illegal bargain between Kemalist Turkey and Bolshevik Russia will be a violation of Armenia's territorial integrity," Mr. Papian resumed.
