/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During talks with Turkish Foreign Minister in Ankara,
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice addressed the issue of the
Armenian Genocide resolution and said the administration continues to
oppose it. "We call on Turkey and Armenia to jointly resolve historical
problems and we call on them to think about the future, because the two
states will prosper only in case they normalize relations," she said.
For his part, Ali Babacan, stated that Turkey’s sole target is the
PKK and its supporters. Babacan also stated that they have been
working on a list of economic measurements targeted at terrorism,
terrorist organizations and its supporters. Babacan added, "Various
methods have been used in the fight against the PKK; however, none
of them have been successful.
The problems have not decreased. We can not repeat the same mistake. We
are against perpetuating non-operating mechanisms. Meetings with the
USA will be definitive about the steps to be taken regarding the PKK,"
Turkish media reports.
