Even if Turkey pays more attention to Armenia, the latter will
not give up its territorial claims and the issue of the so-called
"genocide." This was told Trend by MP Fazail Aghamali, commenting
on congratulations from Turkish President to Serzh Sargsyan at the
occasion of his re-election.
According to Aghamali, Armenia is a terrorist state that does not
recognize Turkey and has constant territorial claims against the
country.
"So, I think Turkey should respond adequately. This step will not
gain Turkey positive assessment by the global community. Turkey can
be sure of it," Aghamali said.
According to him, congratulating Serzh Sargsyan was a very hasty step.
"First, the facts show that presidential elections in Armenia were
rigged, at the same time, the candidates staged attacks against
each other. I do not understand the rationale behind such a hasty
congratulation to the head of a terrorist state; my attitude towards
this issue is negative," Aghamali said.
According to him, this move will not damage relations between Turkey
and Azerbaijan.
"I would not want the Armenian factor to negatively impact relations
between Turkey and Azerbaijan, as we have already experienced
turbulence during the signing of the Zurich protocols. However, those
talks yielded no results because Armenia's intentions are different,
and it has not given up its territorial claims against Turkey. Thus,
I would not want any tensions in our relations with Turkey. Such issues
are not in the national interest of either Azerbaijan, or Turkey ",
Aghamali said.
