The signed protocols will promote the restoration of relations between Armenia and Turkey and pave a way to peace and ensure territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The protocols have already been submitted to the parliament and it is for parliament to decide when to ratify them", ANS-TV quoted Turkish FM Ahmed Davutoghlu as saying answering the question of the Turkish deputy from opposition People’s Republican Party Janan Aritman.
"The events that occurred in the Caucasus in August 2008, proved that the situation threatening to security, stability and interaction, is prevailing in the region. In this view, we have proposed the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform and invited all the countries which are parties to the conflict, including Armenia, to join the platform. We have initiated a dialogue with Armenia which has accelerated recently. The Turkish-Armenian protocols signed on October 10 are not harmful for the Azerbaijani interests", he said.
Janan Aritman asked whether Nabucco project will be stopped with the opening of the Turkish- Armenian border. When answering the question, Davutoghlu said Nabucco project has nothing to do with normalization of relations with Armenia.
