Baku - APA. On April 14, Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
met with the Turkish diplomats working in the North American countries
in Washington.
He called on the Turkey's ambassadors in Washington and Ottawa, as
well as Consuls General in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston
and Toronto to launch dialogue with the Armenian Diaspora, APA reports
quoting Anatolian news agency.
Then Davutoglu addressed the US Council of Foreign Relations. He said
there was no logic in turning the Turkish-Armenian problem into a
factor in the Turkey-US relations. "Turkey and Armenia are neighbors
and live together for centuries. We can discuss the disputed issues
between ourselves". The minister said Turkey wanted to see not unstable
and poor, but rich Armenia in its neighborhood. "We want all of our
neighbors to be rich and to be in peace with us. While signing the
protocols we followed only this purpose. We are ready to hear our
Armenian friends' ideas about the history".
