While normalizig relations with Armenia, we act within frames of my speech in Azerbaijani parliament: Turkish PM

If the problems between Azerbaijan and Armenia are solved, process of normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations will be easier, Erdogan added.

Erdogan noted if the Turkish Parliament does not ratify the Armenia-Turkey protocols, the normalization of the Turkey-Armenia relations cannot be launched.

Erdogan also touched upon the issue of the Armenian diasporas' protests against the normalization of the Turkey-Armenia relations.

Erdogan said, unfortunately, the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs were thus far fruitless.

"Although the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs repeatedly brought together the presidents of the two countries, it did not yield any fruit."

Turkish and Armenian Foreign Ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich on Oct. 10.

Armenian-Turkish ties have been severed since 1993 due to Armenia's claims to recognize so-called "Armenian genocide" and Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani lands.
