Referring to Turkey’s foreign affairs policy and the government’s
disposition toward improving relations with Armenia, Turkey’s
Nationalist Movement opposition party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli,
before his party’s representatives, announced that the country’s
current leadership cannot protect Turkey’s national interests.
According to Bahceli, Turkey’s government, in its activities,
accommodates foreign states.
As reported by Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi, the opposition
party leader stated that the signed Armenian-Turkish Protocols don’t
reflect the "entire nation’s emotions and viewpoints."
Bahceli also spoke about the "Battle of the Flags": He announced
that the Turkish nation has always stood by Azerbaijan’s side and he
appealed to the Azerbaijani people "not to offend the entire Turkish
people’s feelings for the [ruling] Justice and Development Party’s
mistakes."
