"Turkish Republican People’s Party never had a fundamental strategy,
but the recent events, particularly Armenian-Turkish relations’
development made us reconsider our strategy," Deniz Baykal, Republican
People’s Party (CHP) leader stated, Milliyet reports.

"If we start protests and rallies throughout Turkey, Government
would not stand it for a day, it is our last warning to Turkish
authorities. Our patience is not endless. Until Azerbaijani territories
are not liberated, Republican People’s Party will never vote for
Armenian-Turkish reconciliation," Baykal said.

"Prime Minister Erdogan promised Azerbaijanis not to open the border
unless the occupation is removed. He gave a promise and if he is a
man of honour, irretrievable things would not happen. We will monitor
the situation closely and overall the developments connected with
the Armenian Cause are a matter of great anxiety for us," he added.
