The protocols on normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey do conflict with the RA Constitution, according to Ara Papian, head of Modus Vivendi center.

"The resolution of the Constitutional Court was rather political and juridical," he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "It reads that the commitments both countries undertake are bilateral and have nothing to do with relations with third states. It's notable that the CC underlined that international agreements can have legal force only in case of their conformity to the international law. So, if Treaties of Alexandropol, Moscow and Kars are invalid in terms of the international law, these protocols possess no legal force for Armenia."

"I believe that ratification of the protocols are not in the interests of the Armenian nation," Mr. Papian concluded.
