Pro-Armenian forces in Turkey will never be able to make the people
forget their history, Deputy Secretary General of Turkey's National
Action Party (MHP), Abbas Bozyel told Trend on Nov.22.
He was commenting on the conference entitled 'The Sealed Gate:
Prospect of Turkey-Armenia Border' held by the Ankara University
jointly with Hrant Dink Foundation.
'Holding of such conferences in Turkey once again proves the existence
of forces hostile to Turkey's statehood," Bozyel said.
He said Turkey can't restore relations with the country which has
included Turkey's eastern lands to Armenian Constitution as its own
lands and have occupied the territories of Azerbaijan - a brotherly
country for Turkey.
"Although such events are today held in Turkey, the country's policy
and the position of Turkish people with respect to Armenia remains
unchanged," said Bozyel.
The diplomatic relations between Turkey and Armenia were severed in 1993.
The break in relations and closing of the Turkish-Armenian border in
1993 were due to Armenia's claims for recognition of the "Armenian
genocide" in the world, as well as Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani
lands.
