According to the Turkish Sabah newspaper, the PM of Turkey Ragep
Tayyip Erdogan on his official visit to France met with Herve de
Charet, presidentof the French-Turkish group. The issue of Armenia
Cause was put forward during the meeting. Erdogan said: “This is an
issue for the historians. The Armenian Diaspora makes a mistake by
keeping this issue high in its agenda. It is not beneficial for
Armenia. As long as this propaganda keeps going there will be no
perspective for the Armenian-Turkish relations. If they put an end to
this then Turkey may be willing to open the border-gate.”
