Turkey calls on third countries to support normalization of relations with Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Burak Ozugergin, spokesman for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, called on the third countries to support the process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations.



Speaking at a weekly press briefing on Tuesday, Ozugergin said, "We have been carrying out a series of talks with Armenia in order to normalize our relations. We think that it is not proper to send messages to each other through the press during this process."



"We have always objected attempts to distort a certain period in our history. We cannot accept use of such distortions as a tool of bargaining. We will continue telling the truth," he said.



Ozugergin called on the third countries to support the process between Turkey and Armenia since any intervention could have a negative impact on talks.



"We wish to maintain our cooperation and consultation mechanisms with the new administration of the United States in all areas concerning our joint foreign policy. We got the impression that the U.S. administration also intends to cooperate with us," he added, Anatolian Agency reports.
