/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Majority of Turkish parliamentarians endorse
Prime Minister’s statement on Turkish parliament’s not ratifying
RA-Turkish Protocols unless there is progress in Karabakh
settlement process, Head of TURKSAM centre Sinan Ohan told a
Yerevan-Ankara-Moscow TV bridge on "New Geopolitical situation in
the East: Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, problems and realities". "I
recently had conversations with MPs, and they expressed full support to
Premier’s standpoint. Turkish Parliament will be waiting for progress
in Karabakh process," Turkish expert stressed.

Huseyin Bagci, Vice President of European Security Academy and
scientific board member in Middle East Technical University, stressed
in turn that Protocols would be ratified by Turkish parliament,
since normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties required spirit of
time. "Superpowers are currently coercing Armenia and Turkey into
normalizing ties, forcing Recep Tayyip Erdogan to ensure Protocol
ratification," Professor said.
