"There is nothing strange in Turkey’s discussions with Azerbaijan
about the signed protocols," said at today’s journalist meeting Chief
of Information Center of CNN Turk Ferhat Boratav.

"It’s like Armenia’s President Serge Sargsyan tried to talk into with
Diaspora in former times, the same way Turkey is trying to persuade
Azerbaijan. So far without success," said Ferhat Boratav.

Turkish Milliyet paper’s reporter, Kadri Gursel, said that regardless
of whether Turkey would persuade the Azerbaijan or not, Ankara has
its strong view on normalization of the relations with Armenia. "This
is not a result of any pressure. This is just the matter of good
neighborhood relations," he said. He added, Armenian-Turkish relations
are the part of the regional problems, and Azerbaijan as the region’s
state, should be involved in the process. Understand and accept this,
he said.

Meanwhile, when asked how they compare Azerbaijan with Armenia’s
Diaspora, the Turkish journalists avoided answering.
