Statements made by the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan that Turkey
should reconsider its attitude to the Armenian genocide shows that
he is very presumptuous, Minister of Turkey for the EU Egemen Bakhish
said, according to the newspaper Zaman.
"No one can force the Turks to kneel" Mr Bakhish said.
The Minister noted that the Armenian president should first of all
take care of the poor economic state of his country, because its
population decreases with each passing day.
"The citizens of Armenia come to Turkey and other countries to work.
Thus the Armenian population of four million was reduced to two
million" Mr Bakhish said.
The Turkish government has repeatedly made statements that relations
between Ankara and Yerevan will be restored after Armenia withdraws
from the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
Armenia and Turkey have no diplomatic relations; the border between
them was closed in 1993. The reason for this is due to Armenian
claims for international recognition of the so-called genocide and
the occupation of Azerbaijani lands.
The Armenians and the Armenian lobby claims the predecessor of Turkey
during the Ottoman Empire, has carried out genocide attacks against
Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915 and achieved recognition of
these events as genocide by the parliaments of several countries.
