ANKARA (A.A) – 21.10.2009 – Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
said on Wednesday that ways to normalization process would be paved
in case Armenia fulfilled its obligations.
Briefing the Parliament on the protocols signed between Turkey
and Armenia, Davutoglu said the protocol in question included the
expression ‘respect to territorial integrity and territorial immunity’.
"Kars and Moscow agreements arrange borders between Turkey and
Armenia. The protocol made references to those agreements," Davutoglu
said.
"Thus, it is also reaffirmed by Armenia that the claims that Turkey
and Armenia have border disputes and Armenia demands territories
do not have any legal validity. Both the Kars Agreement and Moscow
Agreement says Sevres Treaty was not accepted."
Davutoglu said the protocol texts included many provisions regarding on
which principles the relations would be carried out in case relations
were established between Turkey and Armenia.
Davutoglu said there were also provisions pertaining to establishment
of Joint History Commission.
