Turkish opposition party wants review of Ankara-Erevan protocols

"Turkish opposition party wants review of Ankara-Erevan protocols

Ankara, 18 March - Tensions with the United States and Sweden following the recent initiatives in these countries towards a public stance on the “genocide” issue, are spilling over into Turkish internal politics. The diplomatic row is giving the main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), an opportunity to make its point. From the beginning the CHP had voiced out strong opposition against the protocols signed by the government with Erevan in October 2009, arguing that no understanding between Turkey and Armenia must be made until Armenia amends its constitutional article related to “genocide” and withdraws from the Karabakh region it occupies inside Azerbaijan."
