Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ ratification process grows complex in
Turkish Parliament without Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement,
Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Spain, Turkish Zaman
daily reports.

OSCE Minsk Group should find a fair settlement to the dispute and
then the major issue between Armenia and Turkey will be resolved,
he emphasized.

"Of 170.000 Armenians living in Turkey only 100.000 are not Turkish
citizens. They are in a jam, that is why we do not deport them and
permit their stay in our country. This is an exercise of good will
by our side," Erdogan said.
