Turkish parliament to ratify protocols in case country's leadership makes political decision

PanARMENIAN.Net - Preliminary signature of Protocols will be followed by internal discussions of documents, revealing variety of opinions in Armenian and Turkish societies and political circles, YSU lecturer, Turkish studies expert Ruben Melkonyan told today a news conference in Yerevan.



According to him, the main pro-opposition forces strongly criticize normalization process, as that may "infringe Azerbaijan's interests".



Ratification of documents by both countries' parliaments will impart a new impulse to the process, Armenian expert said, adding that proportion of forces in Turkish parliament shows the likelihood of ratifying the documents.



However, he did not rule out the contrary process, considering Turkish analysts' reports on Premier Erdogan's yesterday's statement that Turkish parliament will not ratify documents unless Karabakh conflict is resolved.
