ARMENIAN EXPANSION ISSUE WILL BE BROUGHT TO TURKEY'S ASSEMBLY ON
OCTOBER 10TH
According to the Turkish Sabah newspaper, Turkish Prime Minister
Erdogan announced during a speech made at Princeton University that
the Armenian expansion protocol will be brought to Turkey's Grand
National Assembly on October 10th-11th, two days prior to the World
Cup qualification football game between the two nations.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan discussed both the democratic expansion
and relations with Armenia during an address to Princeton
University. During the speech, Erdogan stated that the Armenia
protocol will be handled by the Grand National Assembly two days prior
to the national football game to be played on October 24th.
Erdogan stated the following: "Deliberations between Azerbaijan and
Armenia are continuing with a fervor never before seen. With the
bilateral talks conducted by Switzerland, the steps taken towards
establishing diplomatic ties between Turkey and Armenia have now
reached a significant point. If prejudices or internal political
issues do not surface, then I do believe that the agreement prepared
will be handed over to the parliament. These steps will be taken on
either October 10th or 11th."
Erdogan also touched on the `democratic expansion' during his speech
and stated "The movement can not take place instantaneously. We need
to go forward a bit at a time. We want to solve the major problems and
then handle the minor ones. This is not a Kurdish expansion, it is a
democratic expansion. The rights of minorities will also be an issue
dealt with in the expansion."
