Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 28 / Trend A.Huseynbala /
Azerbaijan and Turkey should join their efforts to avoid ratification of the Turkey-Armenia protocols at the parliament, Turkish MP from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Shenol Bal told journalist in Baku.
"All efforts should be combined to prevent ratification of the Turkey-Armenia protocols by the parliament," Bal added.
Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward Nalbandian signed the protocols Ankara-Yerevan in Zurich on October 10.
Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey have been broken due to Armenia's claims of an alleged genocide, and its occupation of Azerbaijani lands. The border between them has been broken since 1993.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December 1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7 districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
According to the Turkish MP, no force could hurt the Turkey-Azerbaijan brother relations.
