    Munich.Javid Ismayil-APA. There occurred an incident between Turkish
    Prime Minister Rejep Tayyip Erdogan and Armenian Foreign Minister
    Vardan Oskanyan, APA reports

    Erdogan delivered speech in the conference .Oskanyan asked Erdogan
    why Turkey does not establish diplomatic relations with Armenia.

    `There is not diplomatic relations between us. Our borders are
    closed. The reasons are Nagorno Karabakh conflict and genocide
    occurred in 1915.We are not under war condition with Turkey. Why do
    not we discuss these issues? Why do not we establish diplomatic
    relations?' he said.

    Erdogan answered Armenian Foreign Minister's question very seriously.
    He noted that, He restored air cargo transportation with Armenia
    after he was Minister. We restored Armenian Church in Akdamar Island.
    There are 40,000 Armenian in Turkey now. Why do they move to my
    country? We have not any problem with Armenian citizens. You should
    answer why Armenians are moving from Armenia and several countries of
    world to Turkey. Because Turkey is a country of peace!' he said.

    Erdogan called on Armenia to release Nagorno Karabakh.

    `The whole word recognizes Armenia as an aggressive country. Leave
    for Nagorno Karabakh! Let hundreds, thousands Azerbaijanis live
    there. They are also our brothers. Why do not you have forbearance
    for this? If you have forbearance, you will contribute to peaceful
    issue. Nagorno Karabakh events disclose who committed genocide and
    drove out innocent people from their lands,' he said.

    Erdogan called on Armenia to give up claims on Armenian genocide and
    disclose archives on 1915 events together.
