ARMENIA: OPPOSITION WANTS CONSTITUTIONAL COURT TO DITCH TURKEY PEACE PLAN

Fourteen Armenian opposition parties have appealed to the country’s
Constitutional Court seeking a ruling that would declare Yerevan’s
rapprochement agreement with Turkey unconstitutional, the RIA Novosti
news agency reported.
A statement signed by opposition representatives, including those
from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) and the
Heritage Party, argues that the Armenian-Turkish protocols threaten
Armenia’s constitutional order and run counter to the national
interest. The Armenian National Congress, the large opposition bloc
led by ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosian, did not join the appeal.
President Serzh Sargsyan submitted the protocols, subject to
parliamentary approval both in Armenia and Turkey, to Armenia’s
Constitutional Court on November 29 for a review of their compliance
with the Constitution.
