Statement and stance of Turkish Foreign Ministry puts Turkey in humorous situation and proves that country looks for pretexts to protract the Protocols’ ratification, ruling Republican Party faction Secretary Eduard Sharmazanov told NEWS.am. On January 19, Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement criticizing the RA Constitutional Court judgment on Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

“This statement revealed Turkey’s true colors,” Sharmazanov said, underlining that RA CC did not make any anti-constitutional move.

According to him, CC decision proceeds from the RA Constitution that says “Armenian people and authorities of Armenia should seek the international recognition of Armenian Genocide.” RA President Serzh Sargsyan also repeatedly stated this. "CC judgment is a legal wording of RA President’s position. And the statements by Turkish Foreign Ministry off-put country’s authorities and “provoke raucous laughter,” the MP concluded.
