Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ ratification process grows complex in Turkish Parliament without Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Spain, Turkish Zaman daily reports.

OSCE Minsk Group should find a fair settlement to the dispute and then the major issue between Armenia and Turkey will be resolved, he emphasized.

“Of 170.000 Armenians living in Turkey only 100.000 are not Turkish citizens. They are in a jam, that is why we do not deport them and permit their stay in our country. This is an exercise of good will by our side,” Erdogan said.
