/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recent efforts to normalize relations between Turkey
and neighboring Armenia are a step in the right direction, but the
process has failed to produce any results other than a softening in
the political rhetoric, diplomats and foreign policy analysts have
indicated, a Turkish diplomat said.

"The Armenian side hasn’t taken a step back. There is only a change in
the rhetoric," said retired Ambassador Murat Bilhan. "Armenia should
be aware that this is a give-and-take process, but it does not seem to
be ready to give anything," he said, the Anatolia news agency reported.

“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
