Turkey’s PM Tayyip Erdogan referred to the Armenian Constitutional
Court’s decision at a press conference following his meeting with
the Secretary General of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference
Ekmeledin Ihsanoglu, Turkish Zaman Daily says.

"As a Turkish state, we can never take a constrained agreement. There
are approaches hidden between words, sentences," he said.

Turkish PM urged Yerevan to make changes, otherwise the process will
essentially suffer.

Erdogan reaffirmed Ankara’s disposition: Armenian-Turkish normalization
process will take a rapid course once there is any progress in
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
