    Yerevan's call to halt ratification of an accord on normalizing ties
    has Turkey evaluating the possible legal and political repercussions,
    and prompted the country's leader to reiterate his commitment to the
    normalization process.

    "It is up to them to decide how they want to move with the ratification
    process," Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters
    in Ankara on Thursday. "I have expressed our loyalty to the protocols
    on numerous occasions. We will press ahead with the process on the
    principle that treaties are binding."

    The prime minister's remarks came as Armenia's ruling coalition
    announced earlier Thursday that it was halting ratification of the
    peace accord on account of Turkey's refusal to ratify the text without
    preconditions and in a reasonable timeframe.

    Soon after the coalition parties' statement, Armenian President Serge
    Sargsyan confirmed his country's freezing of the ratification of the
    protocols with neighboring Turkey.

    Following the Armenian statement, Davutoglu called Erdogan to inform
    him about the developments. In Ankara, Erdogan said his country's
    stance concerning the ratification of the protocols is clear. "How
    the ratification process could move forward and how a comprehensive
    peace objective can be achieved in the region has been explained to
    the parties concerned."
