Minister: Turkish parliament not to ratify Armenian-Turkish protocols

The Turkish parliament will not ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols until the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is resolved, Turkish State Minister and Chief Negotiator for EU Negotiations Egemen Bagis  said at a press conference at the EU representative office in Denmark this week, the Hurriyet newspaper reported today.

In April, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan signed a decree suspending the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement protocols. The protocols were signed by both countries' foreign ministers in October last year.

Sargsyan said they were suspended due to country's "national interests."
