December 17, 2013 - 15:11 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who
visited Yerevan for the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) group
meeting, was harshly criticized by the opposition upon his return,
virtualaz.org said citing Turkish media.
The MPs demanded an account of the official's visit to Yerevan
as well as of 'secret deals reached'. The Nationalist Movement
Party (MHP) deputy Tugrul Turkes required an explanation over the
reports of alleged ceding the Nagorno Karabakh-adjacent regions and
acknowledgement of Turkey's guilt in the Armenian Genocide.
In reply, Davutoglu reminded the MP about his father's involvement in
negotiations with the first Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrossian
during the Karabakh war.
"Your father's actions were not a mistake, and neither is my visit
to Yerevan," Davutoglu said.
The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy Osman Koruturk,
in turn, slammed Davutoglu as "the most unsuccessful foreign minister
among them all."
"Negotiating with Armenia is not a crime. What's criminal, though,
is betraying Azerbaijan's interests through opening of borders with
Armenia, in the face of unsettled Karabakh conflict," Haqqin.az quoted
Koruturk as saying.
Earlier, MHP member Oktay Vural also criticized Davutoglu over
his visit to Armenia as well as the official's statement that the
"deportation of Armenians in 1915 was inhumane."
He also expressed confidence that the representatives of the ruling
party plan to recognize the Armenian Genocide and return lands to
Armenians, according to Panorama.am.
