Ankara believes a "silent diplomacy" is needed to be pursued with
Yerevan and that the Armenia-Turkey normalization has not grounded to
a halt, Turkish President Abdullah Gul reportedly said in reference
to a recent decision by Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan to suspend
the ratification of the Protocols.

"Turkey has a clear-cut policy for the normalization of the relations
with Armenia. Turkey has a foreign policy strategy and one foreign
policy objective for the Caucasus – securing stability in the
Caucasus," Turkish CNNTurk quotes Gul as saying.

Further Turkey’s president says that the present status quo in the
Caucasus should be changed.

"The current status quo in all the Caucasus is not beneficial for any
one. That status quo needs to be changed so that peace and cooperation
will prevail there. For that reason all should be careful over that
issue. A "silent diplomacy" is probably needed at this moment,"
said Gul.

“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
