ArmInfo. Armenian-Turkish Protocols have been currently frozen just
by Armenia, Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
at a press-conference in Baku when asked about the future of the
Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

"Our parliament has been entrusted with this work. However, our
formulation regarding the Protocols is very open and clear. What
does it imply? We said that no positive decision- making by Turkey’s
National Assembly is possible without solution of the Karabakh problem
between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is very open and clear. We used to
say about it and explained it to all the three cochairmen of the Minsk
Group. They must be more active in this direction and explain Armenia
the importance of this issue. For this purpose, we actively included
the Madrid issue, as well as other issues in the agenda. However,
we do not see Armenia’s sensible approach to this issue so far. As
you know, there is no progress despite the fact that four months have
passed after Sochi meeting", AzerTag quoted Erdogan.
