The parliament of Azerbaijan plans to discuss the Armenia-Turkish Protocols, reported Trend News.

Zahid Oruj, who was member of the Azerbaijani delegation that visited Turkey after the Protocols were signed, stated that the Azeri parliamentarians “will propose steps to prevent the protocols from being submitted to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.” “The Azerbaijani side is taking certain diplomatic actions. I think that various levers of pressure can be used,” Oruj said.

The Azeri parliamentarians that proposed the discussions paid a visit to Turkey and held a meeting with Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who comforted them by saying that there would be a long period between the signing of the Protocols and reopening of the Armenian-Turkish border. The Azerbaijani parliamentarians shared their “favorable impressions” from their meeting with Erdogan. The Turkish Premier’s assurances, however, failed to convince the Azerbaijani delegation, and the country’s Parliament will hold hearings.
