Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that a
ruling by a court in Armenia could derail efforts to end a century
of hostility between the two neighbours.

"It’s definitely unacceptable to Turkey," Erdogan told a news
conference in Saudi Arabia during a state visit, Reuters reports.

"We have never taken the protocol to our Constitutional Court. We took
it directly to our parliament, without making changes. We didn’t employ
a mediator on the text. We didn’t carry out any read-between-the-lines
operations. This is a proof of our sincerity.

Armenia has tried to change the text."
