“Turkish and Armenian efforts to overcome a century of hostility hit fresh obstacles this week,” Financial Times reports, commenting on CC decision on Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

According to the daily, international pressure to ratify the Protocols will increase “in the run-up to April 24th.”

Speaking of last week’s decision by RA Constitutional Court and Turkish Foreign Ministry’s protest, The Financial Times says “the judgment does not appear to require any change to the protocols, because the court has referred to an article of the Armenian constitution that treats genocide, which Turkey denies, as a matter of historical fact.”

The source mentions that Ankara might take a chance on recent developments and blame Armenian side “for delays in ratification,” as Turkey clearly gave to understand that will not ratify the documents unless Karabakh conflict is settled.
