Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu advocated normalization of
Turkish-Armenian relations at a press conference in London on Tuesday.
He said that Turkey shared the pain of Armenians over the events of
1915 and wanted to restore friendly ties, RIA Novosti reports.
Davutoglu praised the work of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink,
who was killed by a Turkish nationalist in Istanbul in 2007. In his
words, the journalist was trying to find ways for Turks and Armenians
to build a common future.
Davutoglu urged Armenians to visit Turkey more often and end
prejudice. “The two ancient nations should demonstrate wisdom and
understand each other,” he concluded.
