"I hope that during your term of office, as well as the term of office
of the new Armenian president to be elected in the near future, the
Turkish-Armenian relations will enter a qualitatively new stage of
study, identification and final regulation. All this may happen not
only thanks to high political science and creative diplomacy but also
through sincere bilateral examination of the future – based on a bold
and unprecedented admission of History… The deep abysses between our
states – both of modern nature and as a result of the sad legacy of
Great Homeland Deprivation – must be overcome and solved by means of
the truth and straightforwardness, through goodwill of the two newly
elected presidents and cooperation of fellow-citizens interested."
