It is already time that the Armenian Cause ceases to be an issue
blockading the Turkish-American relations. According to Turkish media,
Foreign Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu stated this at the meeting
with the U.S. Congress members.
Mentioning that the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations continues, Davutoglu stated that Armenian-Azeri relations
should be also normalized to establish stability in the South Caucasus.
"We wish peace and stability to be established in the South
Caucasus. We wish to normalize our relations with Armenia. However,
developments in Armenian-Azeri relations are also needed for
establishment of stability in the South Caucasus," Davutoglu stated
adding: "We wish these two normalization processes to lay the
foundations of a long-lasting peace."
