The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a bleeding wound for both
Azerbaijan and Turkey. It has proved that the Azeris and the Turks
must act together against such problems, and Turkey is ready to share
Azerbaijan's difficulties in this matter, Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Erdogan said during his joint press-conference with Azeri President
Ilham Aliyev.
He reprimanded Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan for using "a style
and an attitude that do not befit a statesman."
Erdogan believes that what Sargsyan said during his meeting with
Armenian teens was a provocation, an attempt to implant hostility
and hatred in children's minds. He said that if the Armenian leaders
continue doing this, their youths will be ignorant and ill-disposed.
"The territory of Nagorno-Karabakh is occupied and the occupants
are known. Until now the Armenians have shown a negative attitude
towards the attempts to resolve the conflict, unlike Azerbaijan,
who has always been positively disposed," Erdogan said.
He said that, according to the Armenians' logic, "since today they
have occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, tomorrow they can occupy the Mount
Ararat." "How can one give such guidelines to young people?" Erdogan
said indignantly, urging the Armenian President to apologize and to
try "to correct his historical mistake."
In his turn, President Aliyev said that he did not expect anything
else from Sargsyan. "I have met him many times and I am well aware
of his aggressive mentality," he said.
He noted that the real population of Armenia is 1,800,000. "And those
people claim Turkey's historical lands!?" Aliyev said indignantly.
"The Armenians are mistaken if they think that they have solved the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Nagorno-Karabakh is and will be an Azeri
land. Sooner or later, peacefully or not, Azerbaijan will restore its
sovereignty over that territory. But their territorial claims against a
great power like Turkey prove that they have something missing in their
heads. They live in a world of illusions. They must wake up and come
back to reality just to compare themselves with Turkey and to see that
one can't compare an ant with an elephant," Aliyev said in conclusion.
To remind, when asked by one of the winners of the 5th Armenian
Language and Literature Youth Olympiad what borders the future Armenia
will have and whether they will encompass Western Armenia and the
Mount Ararat, President Sargsyan said: "Everything depends on your
generation. My generation has fulfilled its mission by protecting
part of our homeland, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), from the enemy in
the early 1990s. Each generation has its mission and must be able to
fulfill it well."
