'If the Armenian president fails to apologize for his latest remarks,
even tougher sanctions should be applied towards this country'.
Sinan Ogan, member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey from Igdir
and chairman of the Center for Strategic Studies of Turkey, has issued
a statement on Armenian president's recent "occupation" remarks.
In his statement, Ogan estimates Sargsyan's remarks that "We took
Karabakh back from the enemy and it is up to next generations to
occupy Agri Dagh" as land claims and declaring a war to Turkey.
Ogan believes the Turkish leadership should take tough steps that will
also include new sanctions in response to Armenian president's remarks.
The TURKSAM chairman said the good-will steps that began with the
"Football diplomacy" and envisaged compromises to Armenia have failed
as Sargsyan continues to make hostile statements.
"If the Armenian president fails to apologize for his latest
remarks, even tougher sanctions should be applied towards this
country. All informal dialogues with Armenia should be stopped and
all communications must be closed," the statement says.
A new international initiative should be launched for de-occupation
of Azerbaijan's lands as Sargsyan's remarks shows that Armenia is not
going to withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts,
Ogan added.
