Turkey’s relationship with Armenia will normalize in the same way as
with other countries, the country’s foreign minister promised Monday.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also called for open borders
among all the region’s neighboring countries.
"We’d like all borders to open, so that businesspeople and goods
can freely circulate. We’d like security to reign in the region, not
conflicts; we’d like solutions to frozen conflicts," Davutoglu said
in Parliament, briefing deputies about the relations with Armenia
and the fate of the protocols signed in October 2009 to establish
diplomatic relations, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
Davutoglu said the objective remained normalizing Turkish-Armenian
and Azerbaijani-Armenian relations. "The Armenia-Azerbaijan border
will also open just as the Turkey-Armenia border opens… That is
our perspective of peace."
