`We are undertaking necessary steps for normalizing the relations with
Armenia, but we do not see desirable results from Armenia. While we
are speaking about normal relations and peace, the Armenian Disapora
is doing everything to aggravate the relations with Turkey even
more. They continue spreading ` rumors about the so-called Armenian
Genocide,’ said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
commenting on the opportunities of normalizing relations with Armenia
after the assassination of Hrant Dink, APA reports. In his words,
Armenians have no other aims except for support from different
countries and statements of legislative bodies on recognition of the
so-called `Armenian Genocide.’

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
