Armenia-Turkey
‘ERDOGAN MAY MEET KOCHARIAN’
Turkish Foreign Minister States
In his speech at the Turkish National Assembly, foreign minister Abdullah
Gul said hinting at the resolutions on Armenian Genocide, “Parliaments of
some countries are taking decisions. Injustice against Turkey continues.
None of these decisions will remain unanswered. We’ll send a challenge.
We’ll tell those slandering us: ‘Prove if you can’ and will make them
provide evidence. We are working on this direction. We’ll present the
results in near future. We are in disadvantage. Armenians have gone far
ahead. We need to separate Armenia from Diaspora for our struggle. We are
going to send letters to all countries that have taken decisions on the
genocide and the EU states”.
Answering a question concerning possible meeting of Erdogan and Kocharian in
Warsaw, Abdullah Gul said that sides hold meetings at international forums
but only between foreign ministers so far. Meanwhile Gul thinks it possible
that Armenian President and Turkish Prime Minister will meet in Warsaw
though, he emphasized, there was no arrangement. He then reminded that there
are no diplomatic relations between the countries.
