Direct protocol affects BGP

Yes, I disabled direct protocol on both routers. The full bird.conf is the
following:
log syslog all;
ipv4 table master4;
ipv6 table master6;
router1 bgp configuration:
protocol bgp {
    ipv4 {
            import all;
            export all;
   };
   local as 1;
   neighbor 192.168.2.22 as 2;
}
protocol device {
}
protocol kernel {
    ipv4 {
            table master4;
            import all;
            export all;
    };
}
protocol static {
    ipv4;
}
