Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday his country maintained willingness to settle problems with Armenia, despite Armenian coalition government’s decision to suspend ratification process of protocols the two countries had signed to normalize relations and restore diplomatic ties, Anatolian Agency reported.

"We have kept our positive stance and remained loyal to the word and spirit of protocols from the very beginning and we will continue to do so," Erdogan told a televised address to the nation.

Dwelling on U.S. President Barack Obama’s April 24 address, Erdogan reiterated Turkey's proposal to leave the issue to historians, criticizing "third parties of trying to forge domestic political clout."

"Turkey is very much disturbed from such insincere attitude of countries which we see as our friends, whoever they might be," Erdogan said.
