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.
