Ankara ` APA. `I address the Armenian Diaspora: We want to establish
good relations with all Armenians.

You need to leave unilateral historic propaganda. I also know what my
forefathers experienced. I know what painful was for those who were
expelled from their homelands in Balkans and the Caucasus’, Turkish
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told foreign journalists at a press
conference in Ankara, APA reports. Davutoglu said Turkey was against
any isolation and embargo in the region. `I would like remind that we
made series of political steps toward lifting these isolations. But
Armenia also pursues isolation policy occupying the Azerbaijani lands
and expelling Azerbaijanis from their homelands. The occupation of 20
percent of Azerbaijani lands and turning the people into refugees is
also a form of isolation. Those people cannot return home and we would
like to solve this situation’.
