/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The process of normalization of relations
between Armenia and Turkey requires patience and some creative
thought," Ambassador of Germany to Armenia Hans-Jochen Schmidt told
a press conference on November 13. According to him, signing of the
Armenian-Turkish protocols is an important step not only in terms of
normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, but also in respect of
normalizing relations across the region. He also stressed that the
Protocols after being ratified may have positive influence on the
process of the Karabakh settlement.

"Early ratification of the protocols, in my opinion, would be
a positive step not only for Armenia, but also for Turkey," the
ambassador said, adding that Turkey should use this opportunity
through ratifying protocols to start playing a greater role in the
South Caucasus region.

“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
