Turkey has a very clear position on the Turkish-Armenian protocols,
Chairman of Turkish-Azerbaijani interparliamentary friendship group,
member of the ruling Justice and Development Party Mustafa Kabakci
said.

"Turkish president, prime minister and foreign minister made very
clear statements, which were addressed not only to the Turkish
community. These statements were made in France, Switzerland and
Germany and also at the Azerbaijani parliament," he said.

"We are closely watching ongoing processes related to the Karabakh
issue. First article of the OSCE Athens meeting agenda was the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Foreign ministers seriously discussed this
issue. We will first monitor the processes in Karabakh and then decide
to put the issue to vote at the parliament or not," Kabakci said.

He said liberation of the occupied lands is priority issue for Turkey.

"Turkey was always together with Azerbaijan in the Karabakh issue
and will continue to do so," he added.
