Turkey's Prime Minister said on Thursday his country is “committed to peace protocols with Armenia, despite a decision by Armenia's ruling coalition to suspend ratification of the accords by the parliament.”

“We have frequently expressed our commitment to the protocols in word and in spirit and our goal to fulfill them,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a news conference, Worldbulletin reported.

In their statement earlier Thursday, three parties forming the majority in Armenia's parliament accused Turkey of refusal to ratify the Protocols "without preconditions and in a reasonable timeframe."

The coalition rates as unacceptable the latest statements by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who keeps linking ratification of Armenian-Turkish Protocols to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
