YEREVAN. - Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu's statements would hardly have
a positive impact on the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations,
Armenia's FM Edward Nalbandian stated, on Thursday, commenting on
Davutoglu's recent statement. The latter had thanked Armenia for
its humanitarian aid provided to Turkey, but adding this could not
contribute to the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations.
"It is apparent that Armenia had expressed readiness to send
humanitarian aid to Turkey, and it did that. I do not think Davutoglu's
statements would have a positive impact on the normalization of
Armenian-Turkish relations. This proves yet again that the Turkish
side continues to demonstrate a non-constructive approach, just as
during the Zurich meeting," Nalbandian noted.
Three days after the devastating earthquake in Van, Turkey, on October
23, the country's leadership had agreed to receive international
humanitarian aid, including from Armenia and Israel. Official Ankara,
however, had returned the woolen blankets received from Israel.
