Ankara. Mais Alizadeh - APA. "Kurdish initiative" proposed by the
Turkish government, as well as protocols signed with Armenia created
concerns inside the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). A group
of parliamentarians in the party expected to issue statement against
the government's policy because its actions toward the solution of
Kurdish and Armenian problems put Turkey face to face with a number
of challenges, APA Turkish bureau reports.
The government's policy called as "Kurdish initiative" or "democratic
initiative" intensified tensions in some regions of the country and
life-sentenced leader of the terrorist organization tries to use it
to ease his situation. Despite that the protocols signed with Armenia
are linked with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, it Armenia unlikely
have an intention to leave the occupied Azerbaijani lands. It creates
coldness in the Turkish-Azerbaijani relations and Armenian Diaspora
in the West didn't leave its claims against Turkey. Even Armenian
president Serzh Sargsyan threatens to appeal the international legal
institutions if the protocols are not ratified.
According to reliable sources, after the meeting with US president
Barack Obama Prime Minister Erdogan hinted that the ratification
of the protocols signed with Armenia depend on the free will of the
Turkish lawmakers, which aim to ease concerns of the AKP activists.
Ankara conditioned the ratification of the protocols with the
withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied Azerbaijani lands. But
Turkey put forward the phrase of "free will of the parliament"
as a counterattack against the possible pressures from the West,
particularly from the United States.
