Leader of Turkish Democratic Party and former speaker of the parliament
Husamettin Cindoruk criticized the government for its agreement with
Armenia, Haberturk reported.

Cindoruk said during the iftar dinner in Eskishehir that the government
made surprise statement about initialing of two protocols with Armenia.

"We harm Azerbaijan with which we share the same language, religion
and roots. Azerbaijan is our blood brother. Armenia has occupied 20
percent of Azerbaijani lands. There are graves of Karabakh war victims
in Baku. What will happen if president of Armenia, which occupied a
part of Azerbaijan’s territory, comes to Bursa football match? let
him not come. Is there any use harming Azerbaijan for that?!"

Cindoruk said they had no problems with Armenians. "Armenians live
in comfort in Istanbul. Our problem is the Armenia’s enmity and
aggressive actions against Azerbaijani Turks".
