Armenian-Turkish normalization protocols are due to be discussed
at Azerbaijan’s Mili Majlis session. "Having returned from Turkey,
my colleagues and I are intent to submit a suggestion over the steps
to be taken so that the protocols aren’t discussed in the Turkish
Parliament," Zahid Oruc, a member of the Parliamentary Committee for
Security and Defense, told Trend News.

"The Azerbaijani party is going to undertake some diplomatic actions.

I think, different pressure leverages may be applied," the deputy
said. According to him, not only the policy implemented over the
Armenian-Turkish normalization, but the other regional processes
should be discussed.

"The regional power balance shift is going to be of great significance
to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani parliament should hold an opinion exchange
over the issues," he highlighted.
