CC decisions are obligatory
"Each decision of the RA Constitutional Court is a complete document with all provisions having equal legal significance," Ministry of Defense Gevorg Danielyan told A1+ adding that the preamble is similarly obligatory for the Armenian Parliament.
"In other words, all provision of a CC decisions have an obligatory force," the Minister said.
Under the RA Law on the Constitutional Court (Part 5, Article 61)_CC decisions are compulsory for state and local self-government bodies, their officials as well as physical and legal persons throughout Armenia.
"No one can accept a CC decision partly or with reservations as it is a complete legal source," Gevorg Danielyan noted. "According to the same Article, CC decisions and conclusions are final and are put into effect after publication; hence they cannot be reviewed upon mediation."
Let's remind that Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks held through Swiss mediation.
On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country's Organic Law.
Commenting on the decision of the Armenian Constitutional Court, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that "the decision contains preconditions and restrictive provisions which impair the letter and spirit of the Protocols" and demanded Armenia to review the CC decision.
