RA NA not to discuss protocols unless they're ratified by Turkish parliament
The National Assembly of Armenia will not discuss the protocols on normalization of relations with Turkey unless they are ratified by Turkish parliament, RA NA Speaker said.
"Attempts to link Karabakh conflict settlement process to normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations are ungrounded and unacceptable," Hovik Abrahamyan said when commenting on yesterday's statement by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"If the Turkish parliament doesn't ratify the protocols we will take retaliatory measures," he said.
