Does Turkey halt the process?
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who is in Saudi Arabia on a working visit has announced that the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations might be halted, Turkish Anadolu Agency reports.
Erdogan added that the relations between Yerevan and Ankara can be normalized in case the Armenian Constitutional Court reconsiders its decision of January 12 by which the Court found the Armenian-Turkish Protocols as compliant with the country's Organic Law.
Earlier this week Turkey's Foreign Ministry announced that the CC decision contains preconditions and restrictive provisions which impair the letter and spirit of the Protocols.
We have introduced the Protocols to our parliament without changes while Armenia attempts to make text changes. We want the Armenian Constitutional Court to review its decision in order to enable the two countries to continue the negotiations," said Erdogan adding that Armenian-Azerbaijani relations cannot be ignored in the process.
