A ministers council meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, took place in Turkey yesterday. As previously reported,
discussed during the meeting, among other issues, was to be the RA
Constitutional Court’s decision on the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

Turkish government spokesperson Cemil Cicek stated that, during the
meeting, no assessments were made on the RA Consitutional Court’s
decision, adding that Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already
issued a statement on the issue, reports Anadolu Ajansi.

"That is a decision which hinders [our] efforts. If the Armenian
authorities find that it’s useful to implement the Protocols and if
they are sincere in that issue, then they should make a statement that
will satisfy not only Turkey, but also the international community,"
said Cicek.
