Turkish authorities will make an effort to ratify Armenia-Turkey
Protocols by April taking the U.S. pressure to its advantage, Turkish
Republican People’s Party MP Canan Artiman told Azerbaijani Trend News.

According to her, Davutoglu’s statement about U.S. Congress is mere
pretext and authorities will turn it to their advantage.

MP considers concerns of official Ankara over Genocide recognition
groundless.

"Turkey never did it, there is no official document proving the fact
of Genocide and Turkey’s concern over adoption of law by the U.S. is
unfounded," underlined Artiman.

She reckons that unlike Armenia Turkey has not disclosed its stance
on the Protocols by now. "Despite the alterations in the Protocols
made by RA Constitutional Court, Ankara still hopes for the Protocols’
ratification," she concluded.
