Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu paid courtesy visits to
religious leaders in Istanbul to contribute to the continuation of
religious peace in the Balkans, Middle East and elsewhere.
Within this frame Davutoglu also paid visits to Armenian Deputy
Patriarch of Turkey Aram Ateshyan. Davutoglu said that in the future
all prejudices will be left beyond, and a stable peace will be
established both in Turkey and in the Caucasus.
Davutoglu stated that one of the main elements is to establish mutual
understanding among religious communities and to transfer this to
the political sphere.
Patriarch Ateshyan said that until the ruling Justice and Development
Party (AK Party) came to power in Turkey, no ministers or deputies
in the country knew the way to the Patriarchate.
Representing the Armenian community living in Turkey as an integral
part of the country, Ateshyan said, "If Armenians are deported from
Turkey, one of Turkey's two legs will be crippled."
