Kilicdaroglu: We want to establish good relations with Armenia
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Turkish opposition Republican
People's Party (CHP) addressing a meeting at the European Policy
Center harshly criticized Erdogan's government. He disapproved the
constitutional amendment adopted at the September 12 referendum
expressing confidence that no European Union member state would vote
for such Constitution.
According to the BeyazGazete news agency, when asked about the
Armenian-Turkish relations, Kilicdaroglu said: `We want to live with
all our neighbors in peace and friendship. Mustafa Kemal said: `peace
in the homeland - peace in the world.' We want to establish very good
relations with Armenia. The two parties should open their archives. We
have already opened them. The historians should gather together to
study the issue. We also know about the dramatic events of the past
but they should not become a subject for malice and revenge. We are
obliged to leave a good world to the future generations. Taking the
pains of the past to the future can do no good to any society.'
Note that according to some sources, Kemal Kilicdaroglu's mother is Armenian.
