    ERDOGAN: "SHAME IF EFFORTS MADE A VICTIM OF ARMENIAN DIASPORA"

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with Armenian President
    Serzh Sargsian on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey and
    Armenia should take bold steps to boost stability across the region.

    "It would be shame if all these efforts are made a victim of
    (Armenian) diaspora's works," Erdogan told a panel session during
    the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos titled "The Great Game
    Revisited" which was also attended by Azerbaijan's President Ilham
    Aliyev, Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Motaki and Armenian Foreign
    Minister Eduard Nalbandian.

    "The biggest challenge here is the diaspora," Erdogan said.

    He blamed the Armenian diaspora for undermining steps taken by
    Turkey and Armenia and said Turkey wanted to settle the problem in
    the shortest time possible.

    In September 2008, Turkey's President Abdullah Gul paid a visit to
    Armenia which was described as a "historic visit to build bridges
    between the two countries." Gul invited his Armenian counterpart for
    the return match to be played in October 2009 in Turkey.

    At his visit, Gul said he hoped matches between Turkey and Armenia
    would contribute to removing barriers to the rapprochement of two
    peoples with a common history, and contribute to regional peace
    and stability

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with Armenian President
    Serzh Sargsian on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

    The meeting between Erdogan and Sargsian lasted about 20 minutes.
