Devlet Bahcheli "The Turkish government has completely failed with
its policy of rapprochement with Armenia."

The leader of the Turkish nationalists has again voiced sharp criticism
addressed to the government due to the policy of Turkish-Armenian
rapprochement.

"The Turkish government has completely failed with its policy of
rapprochement with Armenia", said leader of the Turkish National
Movement Party Devlet Bakhcheli, according to Hurriyet.

He said in 2005 they warned the government not to take any
rapprochement with Armenia but they did not listen and therefore,
they are now in such a difficult state".

"Why is Turkey reporting to the United States about its policy on
Armenia and Cypriot Greeks? Where are the statements of the government
that everyone takes our opinion into account? The government should
not deceive us or itself, we see what happens well. And the fact that
the prime minister accused the European parliament of blindness came
too late. Everything should be done earlier, not now, when we are in
such a situation", Bakhcheli said.
