Turkey To Hold Protocols Ratification Hostage for Karabakh Resolution

Turkeys parliament will not ratify the normalization agreements with Armenia unless international efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict yield a breakthrough, according to Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

We have been saying that these protocols will have a positive impact on stability in the South Caucasus and particularly on the Armenian-Azerbaijani dispute to end the occupation of Azeri territories by Armenians, Davutoglu said in an interview with Al Jazeera television aired on Monday. This is our belief. Such progress will definitely have a very positive impact on the ratification process in our parliament.

If there is a deterioration of the situation [in the Karabakh dispute] or if there is no hope for such [progress] then the members of our parliament will have a negative tendency to vote. Therefore, we now have to work on a positive scenario.

In order to get a yes [vote,] we need to have some progress in the peace talks because Azerbaijan is a strategic ally and almost a domestic issue for Turkish foreign policy, stressed Davutoglu. The international community should help to end the illegal occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories if it wants a speedy normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations, he said.

It is wrong. These protocols are all wrong. It's all for Turkey. Turkey spends millions MILLIONS of dollars a year fighting against Armenian's in office and international. It is all a game on behalf of Turkey. Im sorry, I don't believe anything that comes out of this guys mouth. Accept the GENOCIDE accept it. Let's move on we will ask for certain reconciliations and open our borders so we can grow in the caucuses.
