    "Turkey and Armenia should launch a meaningful process that will allow
    to reach the desired rapprochement, and it is necessary to demonstrate
    a creative and daring approach towards this end," representative of the
    ruling "Justice and Development" Party, Spokesman of Foreign Affairs
    Committee of the Turkish Parliament Suat Kiniklioglu declared in an
    interview with Mediamax, commenting on the perspectives of improvement
    of Armenian-Turkish relations in light of the reciprocal messages of
    the Prime Ministers of the two countries and the statements of the
    Foreign Ministers.

    "I want to hope that these statements are more than just wishes that
    produce no result. I know that Minister Babacan is sincere in his wish
    to start a new phase of relations with Armenia. The normalization of
    relations derives from the interests of the two countries. We must
    not leave the existing problems to the next generations of Armenians
    and Turks," the Turksh parliamentarian said.

    Asked about the main obstacles on the way of normalization of
    Armenian-Turkish relations, Suat Kiniklioglu said: "The main obstacle
    is that the maintenance of the status quo was acceptable to all
    parties. I think that the status quo is no more acceptable to any of
    the parties. The wounds of the past should not prevent us from moving
    forward and establishing new relations between our countries."

    The Turkish MP noted that "one of the conditions of establishment
    of diplomatic relations is the clear statement on recognition of
    each other's borders. The second issue refers to the occupation of
    territories belonging to Azerbaijan."

    Suat Kiniklioglu said also that the improvement of the Armenian-Turkish
    relations is not a bilateral issueonly. It touches the interests of
    countries like Russia, Azerbaijan and the US.
