Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu completed meetings with
leaders of political parties as part of six-week internal political
discussions concerning the protocols initialed with Armenia, Turkish
news agencies reported.
Ahmet Davutoglu last met with former speaker of Turkish parliament
Husamettin Cindoruk.
Cindoruk told journalists after the meeting that actually
Turkey-Armenia relations were trilateral, not bilateral as Azerbaijan's
participation was necessary in the process.
"Azerbaijan is our brother, friend, ally. We share similar roots. We
should have delicate approach to relations with Azerbaijan. But at
present this delicacy is not demonstrated fully. It is impossible
to forget the torments of Azerbaijani people. There are 1 million
refugees. I have witnessed how they live and graves of the war
victims. We cannot forget Azerbaijan's war victims," he said.
Cindoruk said Azerbaijan should not be blamed for the conflict with
Armenia.
"It was Armenia who attacked. We do not want the enmity to last for
centuries. But agreements with Armenia may harm friendship between
Azerbaijan and Turkey especially built by Demirel and Heydar Aliyev,"
he said.
Husamettin Cindoruk said Turkish government should not hurry with
establishing relations with Armenia and should take all the opinions
into account.
"Because the reopening of the borders will favor Armenia," he said.
