President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Mevlut Cavusoglu believes that the continuation of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations depends on Yerevan's position, Mediamax Agency reports.
"Everything depends on Armenia. If it refuses preconditions, which are reflected in the Constitutional Court's decision, it is still possible. Not only I, but the entire international community believes that until Armenia liberates the occupied [Azerbaijani] territories, progress in the region is impossible, Cavusoglu said in an interview with Mediamax.
Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich Oct. 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.
After the adoption of protocols the Armenian Constitutional Court said that there is no need for the formation of a joint commission to investigate the events of 1915, and Armenia will never refuse its claim over the "genocide".
In April, the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that his country freezes the process of ratifying the protocols.
