PanARMENIAN.Net - "Turkey will continue implementation of reforms in the framework of the Copenhagen criteria irrespective of what Sarkozy or Merkel say. Proceeding from the grounds that the Armenian and Cyprus issues are not included in those criteria, no changes are possible in our policy on these problems," Yasar Yakis, former Foreign Minister for Turkey and currently a deputy from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) stated.



He said Turkey's policy towards Armenia will not change. "After our victory in elections Turkey will be stronger in all respects. Our government's policy both in domestic and regional issues is well known. That policy will continue," the retired diplomat underlined, Bakililar.az reports.
