A statement released by the Armenian parliamentary ruling coalition
over the ratification of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols earlier this
morning has triggered large reaction among Turkish media sources.

In an attempt to find out Washington’s approach over this statement
local Turkish news agency Ankara has asked for comments from Deborah
Guido, Spokesperson of US embassy in Turkey. But the Guido has
declined commenting.

"At this stage we will abstain from commenting on the issue. We
support the normalization between Armenia and Turkey and will do so
in the future too," said Guido.

According to Turkish news agency Anadolu shortly after the coalition
released the statement Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had
a phone call with Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu who is currently
in Estonia.
