Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin deems that signed Armenia-Turkey Protocols are concordant to Turkey’s principles, Turkish Haber8 website reports.

Mehmet Ali Sahin visited the levee in Artvin (Turkey). Answering the journalists’ questions, Sahin said, "If you live in the same house and have problems with neighbors, peace cannot be maintained in your apartment. This formula is also applicable to the states. If we wish to establish peace in the region, we are obliged to settle problems with our neighbors. Then he quoted Kemal Ataturk, “I consider that steps undertaken by our authorities are entirely concordant to the philosophy of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey,” Sahin said, adding that Turkey’s international reputation is increasing. According to him, “it gives ground for pride.”
