TURKISH EMBASSY IN AZERBAIJAN ON SECRET TALKS WITH ARMENIAN DIPLOMATS

The Turkish embassy in Azerbaijan has just circulated a statement
regarding secret meetings between the Ankara government and Armenian
diplomats [in Switzerland’s Bern between 8-11 July]. The embassy said
in its statement that Turkey recognized Armenia as a state in
1991. There were contacts between the two sides from time to time
within this framework. The contacts between the employees of the two
countries’ foreign ministries also refer to this, [the statement
said].

The embassy believes that it is not worth to seek for a distinct
meaning in such meetings between the Armenian and Turkish diplomats.

“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
