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.
