Turkey’s parliament withdraws Armenian-Turkish protocols from agenda

Turkey’s Grand National Assembly has withdrawn from the agenda 898 bills, including the Armenian-Turkish protocols signed in 2009, Turkish media reported.

According to Pirus Haber, the new Turkish parliament considers that the issue of opening of border with Armenia is no longer actual for the country’s political course. Besides, in compliance with the parliament’s regulations, a bill that was rejected by the parliament loses its legal force during six months.
