Erdogan said Armenia attempted to make an operation on the protocols
signed recently by Turkey and Armenia.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday Armenia
attempted to make an operation on the protocols signed recently by
Turkey and Armenia.

Erdogan’s comments came after a decision made by the Armenian
Constitutional Court on the signed protocols.

Speaking at a joint press conference with the Secretary General of
the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu
in Jeddah, Erdogan said that "Turkey sent the protocols directly
to the Turkish parliament without making any other institution an
intermediary. We have not conducted an operation on the sentences. We
have sent the protocols as they were signed and showed sincerity".

At the moment, Armenia has attempted to make an operation on the
protocols. Such an attempt must be corrected. Unless a correction is
made, the process would get damaged. We are not in a position to keep
the relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia out of this context,
Erdogan stressed.
