/PanARMENIAN.Net/ AKP will not support ratification of
Armenian-Turkish protocols unless progress is registered in Karabakh
talks, Turkish PM said.

`If we introduce the protocols to the parliament today, they won’t not
be ratified,’ Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during a meeting with U.S.
President Barack Obama.

Erdogan called on Obama to press for resolution of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. `Use your influence on both Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh. If the conflict is resolved we can ratify the protocols
which will open the border with Armenia in a very short time,’ he
said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
