Signing the protocol on the normalization of relations between Turkey
and Armenia is the beginning of the collapse of brotherhood between
Turkey and Azerbaijan, said Shenol Bal, MP from the Nationalist
Movement Party, TRT 3 television channel reported.

She also said that Turkey will further see the consequences of signing
this protocol with Armenia.

On Oct. 21, the Turkish Parliament began discussions over the
Armenian-Turkish protocol.

During the speech by the MP from the ruling Justice and Development
Party of Turkey Omer Chelik, MPs from the opposition left the meeting
hall of Parliament as protest, TRT 3 television channel reported.

Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the protocols Ankara-Yerevan in Zurich on October 10.

Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey have been broken due
to Armenia’s claims of an alleged genocide, and its occupation of
Azerbaijani lands. The border between them has been broken since 1993.
