Baku (AA) -Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu rebuffed today
Armenia's demand of territory from Turkey, describing the attempt as
"an act of impertinence".
Paying an official visit to Azerbaijan, Davutoglu commented on the
Armenian Chief prosecutor's remarks on Turkish-Armenian border.
Stressing that they called those daring to take "even a small
pebblestone from Turkish soil to know their place," Davutoglu said
"Let alone making such a proposal, nobody can even consider it."
Turkish FM described the demands as "just a delirium", calling everyone
to know their place and limits and respect the borders.
"Demanding territory from Turkey is a presumption. I call everyone to
commonsense. The territorial integrity of both Turkey and Azerbaijan
is basic for us," he added.
Armenian Chief Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan said during the Pan-Armenian
Lawyers Congress on July 5 and 6 that the Turkish-Armenian border
was not determined legally and what he described as "former Armenian
territories" must be returned to Armenia.
Turkish Foreign Ministry earlier criticized the remarks of Armenian
Chief Prosecutor as reflecting the problematic mentality prevailing
in Armenia on Turkish-Armenian relations and its neighbour Turkey's
territorial integrity, urging that "It must be known that nobody can
dare to claim territory from Turkey."
