During his meetings in Turkey with the country’s president and parliament speaker, US Vice President Joe Biden also reflected on the matter of the regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations.

Biden expressed his contentment that the Armenian-Turkish protocols have returned to the Turkish parliament. He noted that he wished for these protocols to be ratified in the coming months, CNN Turk news agency reported.          

To note, prior to US Vice President’s visit to Turkey, the Turkish press was noting that the matter of the regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations was on the visit’s agenda, too.  

In September, the government of Turkey had decided to restore 166 international agreements—including the Armenian-Turkish protocols which, along with other bills, were declared null and void in late August—of the 171 agreements that were left from the previous legislative period.
