Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during his address
before Justice and Development (AK) Party representatives yesterday,
referred to minorities living in Turkey — making particular mention
of Armenians.

As reported by Tert.am’s correspondent in Istanbul, Erdogan noted
that the government has to begin to also address Armenians’ and
Armenian community’s issues in the country, as in the case of the
Kurdish community.

In Erdogan’s words, they have already met with representatives from
the Armenian community and have begun to discuss certain issues.

The Turkish prime minister has also promised to focus its attention
on the Armenian community’s issues.
