/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The chief foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ahmet Davutoglu said the process which aimed to
boost relations between Turkey and Armenia should be strengthened. In
an interview with the Washington Post, Turkish premier's foreign policy
adviser said that Turkish-Armenian relations have been improving and
that any U.S. resolution on the Armenian Genocide would only set back
that progress.
"There is a process, and everyone should strengthen this process
and not try to weaken it," he said. "We hope that the discussions on
the Armenian issue do not affect this process in a negative sense,"
Davutoglu said.
In regard to U.S. President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to Turkey,
Davutoglu said, "his visit will be a historic visit in terms of
U.S.-Turkish relations. We think the success of this visit is
essential."
