Davutoglu called for 'visionary' approach to Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process

PanARMENIAN.Net - There cannot be any misunderstanding between Turkey and Azerbaijan, Turkey's top diplomat said.



"Like members of a family chatting with each other, we have never broken off our contacts. We will not let any incitement come between Turkey and Azerbaijan," Ahmet Davutoglu said in response to a question in which a journalist referred to a straining of relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey over the protocols signed between Armenia and Turkey on Oct. 10 to normalize relations and establish diplomatic ties.



At that, he emphasized that the government will not urge the parliament to ratify the protocols. "The will of parliament is above all," Davutoglu said.



"We are sincere in our desire to normalize our relations with Armenia," he also said, reiterating his call for dealing with the issue with a 'visionary approach instead of enacting arbitrary deadlines', Today's Zaman reported.
