ANKARA, MAY 5, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Foreign
Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu is convinced that Armenia and
Turkey will reach an agreement in the coming months, even weeks.
The Turkish mass media reported that at a meeting with Turkish
intellectuals in Great Britain he said that "the
Armenian-Turkish process has not died - the Turkish side will
not allow that". In his opinion, it is impossible to turn the
process back, it has stopped now, but an agreement will be
reached in the coming months, even weeks. However, according to
A. Davutoglu, a relationship with Armenia is impossible without
consideration of Azerbaijan's interests. "If an armed conflict
starts in Nagorno Karabakh, the borders which should be opened
will close again," Davutoglu declared, adding that if Armenia
surrenders some "occupied" territories, then Turkish society
will overcome a psychological barrier and the borders will open.
