Ankara. Mayis Alizadeh – APA. "Ratification of the protocols signed by
Turkey and Armenia in Zurich on October 10 was not included in agenda
of the Turkish parliament’s foreign relations commission", Ankara-based
member of Turkish parliament from AKP, member of the parliament’s
foreign relations commission Zeynep Daghi told APA Turkish bureau.

She said she was unaware whether they had to wait for foreign
ministry’s allowance to send protocols to the commission. "I can’t
say anything about that. I know only that the protocols are not on
the commission’s agenda".

Turkish parliament sent the Zurich protocols to the foreign relations
commission on October 21. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
Speaker Mehmet Ali Shahin and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said
the protocols wouldn’t be ratified at the parliament if Armenia didn’t
withdraw troops from the occupied lands.
