"Turkish government’s policy of normalizing ties with Armenia is
difficult to predict."
"I am concerned over initiatives of "progress" including "Armenian
progress"," Member of Turkish parliament from Republican People’s
Party Birgen Kelesh said.
"Armenian progress" has been initiated because of borders," she said.
"We back normalization of relation with neighbors. However, current
situation must also be taken into account," she added.
"Armenia’s claims of "genocide", territorial claims to Turkey and
occupation of Azerbaijani territories are basic facts that hinder
normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations. These factors have not
been eliminated and Armenia makes no effort to eliminate them. The
Turkish government has given two promises: one to Azerbaijan and
another to Armenia. I wonder which of the promises the government
will keep," the Turkish MP said.
"Armenia will never agree to Turkey’s mediation in peaceful resolution
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," the MP said.
