Ahmet Davutoglu: Armenia will not dare to claim any part of Turkish territories

PanARMENIAN.Net - In a speech delivered in Grand National Assembly, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu introduced to Turkish parliamentarians to Armenian-Turkish Protocols signed in Zurich. Turkish official stressed the main target of Ankara's foreign policy, i.e. peace and stability around Turkey. "We are trying to create an atmosphere of mutual trust in the region and consolidate a ground of political dialogue. The current status quo in the Caucasus does not correspond to our vision because there are frozen crises which can emerge and lead to a security problem in the region," Davutoglu stressed. Turkish FM again touched upon the issue of "occupied Azerbaijani lands", noting that status quo might prevent effective steps by Turkey.



"We have three important targets to this end. First of all, we need to establish good neighborly relations with Armenia. Secondly, we want to set up a channel of healthy communication between Turkish and Armenian peoples. And thirdly, we aim at accelerating the process to resolve the Upper Karabakh dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia," he said.



Davutoglu also added that, "neither Armenia nor any other country could dare to claim any part of Turkish territories. And the protocols we signed with Armenia ensure this." "Kars and Moscow agreements arrange borders between Turkey and Armenia. The protocol made references to those agreements."



Noting that Turkey's efforts for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan would continue without any disruption, Davutoglu said that he, President Abdullah Gul and Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan always told that the basic issue in this subject was Karabakh issue, Anatolian News Agency reports.
