Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey was behind
the protocols signed with Armenia last year.
Speaking on Turkey's NTV channel on Sunday, Erdogan said that "the
protocols carry a statement. The protocols refer to 'facilitating
peace for the region'."
When you refer to regional peace, you have to consider the problem
between Azerbaijan and Armenia. We have to facilitate peace this time.
The Azerbaijan-Armenia dispute was the reason for the closure of
border gates, Erdogan said.
We have to solve the problem between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Unless
we solve this problem, the Turkish Parliament will not say 'yes'
to the protocols. We do not wish to see a negative decision by the
Turkish Parliament. As such, we are preparing the necessary platform
in the parliament, Erdogan said.
Touching on Iran's nuclear program, Erdogan said that Turkey had made
all necessary warnings to Iran on the matter.
A country can erect a nuclear power plant for peaceful purposes. It
is a natural right of any country to use nuclear energy for peaceful
purposes. However, we do not wish to see nuclear arms in our region,
Erdogan also said.
