Turkey-Armenia protocols can be ratified only after liberation of Azerbaijan's occupied lands: MP

"The protocols can be approved in the Turkish Parliament if the U.S., France and Russia, insisting on signing these documents, put pressure on Armenia to free Azerbaijan's occupied territories," Nizami Jafarov said.

Jafarov said that it is impossible not to believe in Turkish officials' promises that the border with Armenia will not be opened till the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is solved. "If the border is opened, it will be evidence of current Turkish government's lie," he said.

During the meetings with participation of 11 Azerbaijani MPs in Turkey, it was stated that opening of the border with Armenia is possible in case of any serious changes in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, co-chairman of the working group said.

"If one believes in sincerity of these statements, the protocols are not expected to be ratified any time soon in the Turkish parliament," Jafarov said.
