  Turkish MFA ‘displeased’ with Armenian Prosecutor General remarks July 13, 2013 - 14:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Ministry said that Turkey “strongly rejects” Armenian Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan's remarks claiming that lost Armenian territories should be returned to Armenia. Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Levent Gümrükçü said “it must be known that nobody can dare to claim territory from Turkey." Gümrükçü said "the remarks of Armenia’s Prosecutor General reflected the problematic mentality prevailing in Armenia on Turkish-Armenian relations and its neighbor Turkey's territorial integrity.” “The statement also contradicted the obligations of Armenia to the international organizations it is affiliated such as the United Nations and Organization for Security and Coordination in Europe,” Gümrükçü said.
