"The brothers can be at odds at times, but it cannot be a cause for
discord between them."

"Turkey-Azerbaijan brotherhood is endless," Chairman of the Turkish
parliament’s Turkey-Azerbaijan Friendship Group Mustafa Kabakci said.

Ruling AK Party member Kabakchi said it is impossible to force the
parliament to ratify the protocols signed with Armenia.

"I am a member of the parliament. I see no likelihood for ratification
of the protocols without progress in Karabakh problem. Turkey and
its parliament have come to common conclusion about that. Armenia
should withdraw its forces at least from a part of the regions it
has occupied".

Kabakchi said they brought the Karabakh problem on the world’s agenda
by signing of the protocols.

"OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries who attended the signing ceremony
must fulfill their obligations. They must secure returning of the
occupied Azerbaijani lands. The progress in this problem will calm
down anxiety in Turkish community. I am confident that the parliament
will not ratify the protocols unless there is a progress," he added.
