YEREVAN (Azatutyun.am)—Turkey has made more overtures to Armenia, calling on Yerevan to embrace its “offer of peace” to improve historically strained relations between the two neighbors.
Recent developments in the Black Sea and Caucasus region were discussed at a meeting of the Turkish National Security Council chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday.
The statement published after the meeting, which lasted for about three hours, in particular, reads: “The need for a speedy settlement of disputes in a peaceful way based on respect for international law and the territorial integrity of countries was emphasized. Besides, the need for Armenia to maintain the ceasefire and take advantage of the peace offer was emphasized.”
In the past Turkey at different levels has already offered “peace” Armenia and also spoke about “positive signals” coming from Yerevan.
The Turkish National Security Council made its statement on the eve of crucial Armenian-Azerbaijani summit talks hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi.
In the days preceding today’s meeting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reiterated Yerevan’s readiness to engage in a dialogue with Ankara to normalize historically strained relations between the two neighboring countries. He, however, warned Turkey against tying such a rapprochement to the creation of an extraterritorial corridor connecting Azerbaijan to its western Nakhichevan exclave via Armenia.
Unblocking regional economic and transport links is part of the Russian-brokered tripartite agreement that ended an Azerbaijani-Armenian war over Nagorno-Karabakh in November 2020.
Armenia says it objects to providing extraterritorial corridors, but is ready to open transit roads for Azerbaijan, maintaining sovereignty over them.
Earlier this week an Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman told RFE/RL’s Armenian Service that Yerevan had asked Moscow to act as a go-between in Armenian-Turkish normalization that he said should proceed without preconditions.
During a news briefing in Moscow on Thursday Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed such a request from Armenia and said that Moscow was ready to facilitate efforts to repair relations between Yerevan and Ankara.
You have to be a fool to believe anything this deceptive Turkish charlatan has to say. Would you believe and trust someone like this wolf in sheep’s clothing who:
1. Denies the Armenian Genocide calling it a lie.
2. Refers to the descendants of the victims of the Armenian Genocide as the “remnants of the sword”.
3. Orders the erasure and the destruction of all incriminating evidences on the Armenian Genocide from historical archives and only then offers to make them public and available for study.
4. Suggests a committee of historians be formed to study the Armenian Genocide claims but has already decided what the outcome of that study should be even before such a committee is formed.
5. Reluctantly but shrewdly and as part of portraying a false “benevolent” Turkish image abroad he allows the restoration of deliberately ignored decaying Akhtamar Cathedral on Lake Van in occupied Armenian province of Van (Vaspurakan) but only allows the Armenians worldwide to congregate there for religious ceremonies once a year and uses this historic and iconic Armenian house of worship as a tourist site for the rest of the year to fatten the Turkish treasury.
6. Plans, dictates and conducts attacks, in direct military collaboration with our enemy, on the Armenians in the conflict zone in attempts at yet another ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Armenian nation.
7. Recruits, hires and transports into the conflict zone devil-worshiping fatherless Islamist jihadists to kill Armenians in the name of “allah” the “merciful?”.
8. As part of a “victory” parade on behalf of the enemy and in the name of fascist Turkish expansionist pride, praises his terrorist predecessors who masterminded the premeditated and state-sponsored mass extermination and genocide of the Armenian nation a century ago.
9. By use of force wants to make the Armenians to open a land passage to connect his terrorist state to that of the terrorist state of the enemy next door to further destabilize Armenia in hopes of materializing his fascist pan-Turkish dream of the creation of the mythical “Land of Turan” from terrorist Turkey to China. His ultimate goal being the destruction of the Armenian statehood.
10. Is in occupation of Western Armenia (90% of the total Armenian landmass).
11. Is in occupation of Greek Northern Cyprus since 1974.
12. Is in occupation of Northern Syria.
And the list goes on…
Two of his famous quotes:
1. Democracy is like a streetcar. When you come to your stop, you get off.
2. The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.
Who is this Turkish hyena trying to fool? Is this Turkish scoundrel a “peace maker” or the devil in disguise?
well said- the turkey tongue-let it spit out while i carve all into shreds for the pigs and oxen of the fields to eat up
azeri turk soldiers and leaders are doomed- history repeats- we will have ur hide in your loutrines in your homes- leaders and evil soldiers
The leader of ISIS caliphate is ErDOGan, a volatile hard core Islamist that is pursuing his strategy of greater turan.
Like all other empires and invaders we the Armenian people have outlasted and outsmarted, the Turks will join them also…
How can you trust such an inhumane?
Who forwarded drones to kill our brave sons?
In the Artsakh war of November 2020… the black year lasted 44 days …
Where Covid-19 were pandemic everywhere…
Which was planned genocide completing the first… of 1915 …
How can you trust such a beast?
Who wants to be another Hitler?
Wants to control this earth
Invading every neighborhood
Even far lands as far as Africa …and more…
How can you trust such a criminal…
Who has no respect for women?
Who built his palace on the blood of his nation …
And now his lira is going down the drain…
