BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 18 (UPI) -- Turkey's foreign minister has
warned Armenian officials to "know the limits" of their attempts to
regain land lost 100 years ago to Ottoman forces.
During a one-visit to Armenia's neighboring Azerbaijan, Foreign
Minister Ahmet Davutoglu cautioned that Armenia "should know the
limits of its capacity," Hurriyet Daily News reported Thursday.
Armenia's prosecutor general, Aghvan Hovsepyan, recently called for
his country to reacquire the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.
Hovsepyan has claimed the borders between Turkey and Armenia were
never legally established.
Davutoglu termed as "delirium" statements by Armenian officials about
the territory.
"The territorial integrity of Turkey and Azerbaijan is pivotal for
us," he said, and called on "those who dare take a pebble from Turkey"
to know their limits.
Elmar Mammadyarov, Armenia's foreign minister, met Friday in Vienna
with co-chairs of a group with the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) that is working to resolve conflict over
the region.
