I see no likelihood for ratification of protocols: Turkish parliamentarian

"Turkey-Azerbaijan brotherhood is endless," Chairman of the Turkish parliament’s Turkey-Azerbaijan Friendship Group Mustafa Kabakci said.

Ruling AK Party member Kabakchi said it is impossible to force the parliament to ratify the protocols signed with Armenia.

“I am a member of the parliament. I see no likelihood for ratification of the protocols without progress in Karabakh problem. Turkey and its parliament have come to common conclusion about that. Armenia should withdraw its forces at least from a part of the regions it has occupied”.

Kabakchi said they brought the Karabakh problem on the world’s agenda by signing of the protocols.

“OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries who attended the signing ceremony must fulfill their obligations. They must secure returning of the occupied Azerbaijani lands. The progress in this problem will calm down anxiety in Turkish community. I am confident that the parliament will not ratify the protocols unless there is a progress," he added.
