/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
Wednesday that Turkey was refreshing and changing its relations with
the world, adding that Turkey would continue talks with Armenia to
settle problems.

In his televised address to nation, Erdogan said recent protocol on
which Turkey and Armenia agreed was a signal to resolve problems.

"This protocol will take effect after the Turkish parliament ratifies
it," he said. "We will continue our talks to settle problems between
the two countries and bring our relations to a neighborly course."

Erdogan said that Turkish government would take care of Azerbaijan’s
interests in talks with Armenia.

"I believe that this process will end up with a happy ending for
Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia and this issue, which had become
gangrenous, will be removed from history," he said.

"To this end, we will preserve our priorities and indispensabilities,
and continue our peaceful and friendly steps," he added, reported
Anatolian News Agency.
