Third States Hamper Armenia-Turkey Dialogue
Normalization of relations and clarification of historical truth about the events of 1915 is the issue to be resolved by Armenia and Turkey without any interference by third states, ARI Movement International Relations Coordinator Erkut Emcioğlu told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. According to him, Turkey is troubled by Azerbaijan while Armenia is troubled by Diaspora. "Nevertheless, Turkey is obliged to support all Turkic states and especially Azerbaijan, the closest neighbor, despite some differences in confession of Islam. Armenia also has some commitments to the Diaspora. I think we need time change of generations. We should pass this way and understand that we had better to live in peace," he said adding that some European states play a non-constructive role in establishment of a dialogue between Armenia and Turkey.
