PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday, August 8 called on Armenia to read the developments correctly and respond to the “sincere calls” of Baku and Ankara to achieve stabilization in the region, Anadolu Agency reports.

Erdogan made the remarks in an address to Turkish diplomats attending the 13th Ambassadors Conference in the capital Ankara.

The Turkish leader said a “new era” has started in the South Caucasus after “agreements were reached” following the Second Karabakh war. Turkey and Armenia have since taken "important steps" toward peace in the Caucasus, and have appointed representatives to normalize ties, Erdogan added.

“We are working hard to ensure that this historic opportunity is not wasted,” he said.

"I believe that our region will be stabilized in a short time if Armenia reads the developments correctly and responds to the sincere calls of Azerbaijan and Türkiye."

Addressing the same crowd, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu threatened Armenia and said that "once again warns Armenia not to engage in new provocations."

“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
