03 November 2011 [17:08] - Today.Az
I do not believe that the Zurich protocol (on the normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relations) may be submitted for ratification to the Turkish parliament, Turkish MP Muharram Ince, who is on visit to Baku, told journalists on Thursday.
"Turkish parliament will not take a decision that can harm the fraternal relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan. It is impossible to exert pressure on Turkey, as Turkey is a strong state," Ince said commenting on the possibility of pressure on Turkey over the Armenian-Turkish relations.
Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich Oct. 10. But the protocols were not ratified in the parliaments.
