    Ankara described an announcement by Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
    Oskanyan that they would recognize the Kars Agreement as
    "opportunism."

    A Turkish Foreign Ministry diplomat said yesterday: "There are some
    expressions used in the Armenian Constitution and the Declaration of
    Independence. They use the expression "Western Armenia" to describe
    Turkey's eastern regions and the Agri Mountain is registered as the
    national emblem. Secondly, they are not working on any concrete steps
    to withdraw from the Azerbaijani territories they occupy. They blame
    Turkey for the alleged 'genocide' through the diaspora. If we are
    talking about compromise, concrete steps should be made in those
    three areas."
