Karen Avagyan: Turkey’s unfounded statements unintelligible to West also
Turkey’s leadership continues to surprise everyone with its statements, with the world saying one thing about Armenian-Turkish normalization and Turkey saying quite another thing, member of RPA parliamentary faction Karen Avagyan told Panorama.am, commenting on Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu’s statement.
Davutoglu had stated that “normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia is possible only after Armenia vacates the occupied territories.”
“It is not accidental that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated in Yerevan that “the ball is in Turkey’s field.” It means that Turkey’s unfounded statements are unintelligible to the West also. Turkey must show political will, stay loyal to its commitments and ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols,” Avagyan noted.
According to the parliamentarian, if Turkey were interested in the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and establishment of peace in the region, it would spare no effort to restrain the aggressive policy of its younger brother Azerbaijan.
