Turkish President Abdullah Gul has condemned the decision of certain
countries’ Parliaments to recognise the Armenian genocide, commenting
that this will negatively influence the normalisation of relations
between Turkey and Armenia. He stated however that Turkey will continue
seeking this.

Gul also mentioned that the protocols signed in Geneva are already
being discussed in the Turkish Parliament. He said the ratification
process has not stopped and Turkey and Armenia are in a stage of
‘silent diplomacy’.

Caucasus issues are our issues, and we as part of the region make all
possible efforts to maintain peace and stability here, the Turkish
President added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
