    'NECESSARY TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT THREATS, BLACKMAIL': NALBANDIAN ON ERDOGAN'S STATEMENTS

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement on deporting
    Armenians living illegally in Turkey has become a serious topic in
    Turkey itself, said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian,
    during a joint press conference with his Slovakian counterpart,
    Miroslav LajÄ~Mák.

    "Many don't understand how such a statement could be made," said the
    Armenian foreign minister, adding that today he read a story in one
    of the Turkish papers in which the author asked, Who gave such advice
    to the prime minister?

    "But, sadly, you know, it's not the first time such statements
    have been made. Unfortunately, such statements lead to negative
    consequences. Such statements also preceded the Armenian Genocide;
    statements about deportation have also been made in Azerbaijan,
    Sumgait, Baku and other populated areas prior to massacres being
    carried out," said Nalbandian.

    The Armenian foreign minister considered the statements unacceptable.

    According to him, they harm the process of improving Armenian-Turkish
    relations, as well as prove that Turkey's not prepared to move forward.

    "We hope that Turkey will display are more realistic approach and they
    will take into account what the international community, practically
    all the countries, are saying, that, it's necessary to move forward,
    without blackmailing, without preconditions, without threats,
    without provocation. To move forward and carry out that agreement,
    those arrangements, which were made between the two parties, and not
    to threaten Armenia and other countries. This is not the path which
    should be followed in a civilized world," concluded Nalbandian.
