PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia is the cause of problems in the South
Caucasus, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted March
13 by the Turkish Anadolu news agency as saying, Trend reports.
As he noted, despite Turkey's repeatedly holding out the hand of
friendship to the Armenians, the country's authorities keep rejecting
the offer.
"So far, Armenia did noting to bring about the Karabakh conflict
settlement. Seeing as Yerevan has problems with all neighboring
countries, Armenia must reconsider its foreign policy," Cavusoglu said.
Cavusoglu also said that Ankara hopes for an unchanged position of
the US authorities in relation to the Armenian Genocide, otherwise
relations between Washington and Ankara may deteriorate.
According to Cavusoglu, on April 24 the U.S. President Barack Obama
will repeat his usual statement, without using the word 'genocide.'
In late February, Turkish Foreign Minister reiterated conditions
Ankara set forth for normalization of ties with Armenia.
As Mevlut Cavusoglu stated in an interview with Sabah, the Karabakh
conflict settlement is essential to establish peace in the South
Caucasus.
"To normalize ties with Ankara, Yerevan must cede Karabakh
territories," he said, accusing Armenia of taking no steps towards
solving the Karabakh issue.
