The statements made by Premier of Turkey shows that official Ankara
will not continue its constructive policy against Armenia while
the latter does not respect neighborhood relations and is not
constructive. Turkey has to cardinally change its policy in this
direction, the Premier stressed.
Visiting Kars province, Turkey`s Prime Minister said on Saturday that
Turkish nation would continue to defend itself, as its ancestors had
done at the Sarikamis Battle.

Days said Turkish nation would stand firm against, and defend itself
against circles that tried to harm the brotherhood within the country.
"Sarikamis Martyrdom, the Caucasus Front Martyrdom, is an unshakable
monument of our history, civilization and brotherhood," Erdogan
said during the ceremonies held in the eastern province of Kars to
commemorate the 86th anniversary of Sarikamis Battle.
The Turkish Premier charged the Kars local authorities to dismantle
the monument reflecting friendship of the Turks and Armenians erected
here many years ago.
The Battle of Sarikamis was an engagement between the Russian and
Ottoman empires during World War I. It took place from December
22, 1914 to January 17, 1915 as part of the Caucasus Campaign. The
Ottoman troops, ill-prepared for winter conditions, have suffered
major casualties then.
