Turkey was not acting on behalf of anyone and Turkey has always
pursued independent foreign policy," said Turkish Foreign Minister
Ahmet Davutoglu, making a speech before the members of the Turkish
Grand National Assembly, who will discuss the Turkish-Armenian protocol
today, TRT 3 television channel reported.
"Nobody has the right to accuse Turkey that it acts under the pressure
of external forces," Davudoglu said.
The events around the Azerbaijani flag in Bursa are not part of the
Turkish foreign policy and those who want to present it in the light
of diplomacy, they want to harm the Turkish-Azerbaijani relations,
the minister added.
On Oct. 21, the Turkish parliament launched discussions on the
Armenian-Turkish protocol.
During the speech by the MP from the ruling Justice and Development
Party of Turkey Omer Chelik, MPs from the opposition left the meeting
hall of Parliament as protest.
Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the protocols Ankara-Yerevan in Zurich on October 10.
