Deputy chairman of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Suat Kinikoglu said that he may meet with Armenian diaspora representatives in Washington during his visit to the United States in April.
“We need to work for ‘honest recollections’. Armenian resolutions that are passed by the parliaments of some countries weaken the will for normalization of relations," he told Star newspaper.
The process of normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia ‘has not died but there is a need for confirmation of trust between two countries through a cultural dialogue, according to Kinikoglu.
“I am thinking of meeting with Armenian diaspora in United States during my visit to Washington. In the end, they are the sons of our land too. We have many things in common," he said, adding that the U.S. understands Turkey's concerns.
