Forum:Counter trap cards

if you are in your battle phase, and you are attacking, are you only allowed to use counter trap cards during your battle phase? and can you use others?

ex:lets say i have a pyramid turtle and im in my battle phase and i declare an attack on a face down position monster and he uses his trap which is a sakurestu armor, and i of course have tutans mask which is a counter trap to negate it, if instead it was a counter trap and i were too just activate a normal trap card which saves my monster can i use it?

and same with quick play spell cards
