Armenian-Turkish protocols to regain actuality - Turkish MP
June 17, 2011 | 18:06
Newly elected Turkish MP Sinan Ohan does not rule out that ruling
Justice and Development party, led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, might push
the issue of ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols into
Parliament agenda.
'I do not expect any major changes in Turkish policy towards
Azerbaijan in past-election period,' said the director of TURKSAM
Centre for Strategic Research Sinan Ohan to 1news.az.
'But, if the issue of ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols is
brought into parliament, I would critically oppose its consideration,
at least we should have Karabakh conflict resolved and occupied land
of Azerbaijan liberated.'
Asked what about the standing of Turkish PM in this respect, Ohan
noted that statements of PM about territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
were a part of his election campaign and aimed at winning over the
electorate of the nationalists.
'But the elections are over now and the Government no longer has its
hand tied. I think the issue of Armenian-Turkish protocols
ratification will regain actuality in certain period.' said Ohan.
