The Azerbaijani parliament will debate the Turkey-Armenia protocols.

"I and my counterparts who have just returned from Turkey will put
forward proposals to prevent discussion of the protocols signed at
the Turkish parliament," Member of the Azerbaijani Parliamentary
Security and Defense Committee Zahid Oruj said.

Oruj said appeal to the Turkish parliament will depend on the
discussions.

"Azerbaijan takes certain diplomatic actions. I believe we can use
different influence tools," the parliamentarian said.

Oruj added that they should not only discuss the policy pursued to
normalize relations between Turkey and Armenia, but also regional
issues.

"We should determine profit and losses of Azerbaijan in these
processes, because Azerbaijan’s future is too important as a result of
a change in a power balance in the region. Exchange of views should
be held on this issue, as the parliament as a legislative body is a
branch of the government," Oruj added.
