    Turkish President urging Armenian Diaspora
    03.10.2009 22:47 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish President Abdullah Gul urged Saturday
    Armenian Diaspora not to block settlement of problems between Turkey
    and its neighbor Armenia.

    "They should support all efforts for peace in the Caucasus, if they
    care about the future of Armenia," Gul told reporters in Azerbaijan's
    Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic where he attended the summit meeting
    of leaders of Turkic-speaking countries, World Bulletin reports.

    Gul said the Armenian Diaspora was pursuing such a policy in order to
    preserve their identity in some countries.

    "But this is not right," Gul said. "It is easy to speak from a
    distance."

    Asked if tension between Turkey and Azerbaijan --after the protocol
    that Turkey and Armenia agreed on to normalize relations-- was
    overcome, Gul said, "fraternity between Turkey and Azerbaijan has
    always been tested. In this respect, Turkey and Azerbaijan have full
    confidence in each other."

    Gul's remarks came after protests on Friday at the start of Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan's tour of Armenian Diaspora in the world.
