Erdogan: Ankara sincere in relations with Yerevan

January 28, 2009 - 19:01 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian diaspora is trying to benefit from the current situation, but the country's administration does not agree with it, Turkey's Prime Minister said Wednesday.



"The Armenian diaspora is working, but their efforts are aimed at gaining benefits from the situation. Meanwhile, the Armenian administration does not seem to share their position," Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters before his departure for Davos.

 

Erdogan said meetings between Turkish and Armenian diplomats continue and are supposed to pave the way to meeting at the top level.



"We have always been sincere in our relations with Yerevan," he added. 



Turkey severed diplomatic relations and closed the border with Armenia to support Azerbaijan in the Nagorno Karabakh issue in 1993.



The visit of Turkish President Abdullah Gul to Armenia on Sept. 6, 2008 was welcomed as thaw in bilateral relations.
