Yerevan (Yerkir) – "Let nobody lay down preconditions to us forcing
to turn back on Cyprus and our Cypriot brothers in return for joining
EU. Let everyone know that Turkey does not exchange friends for EU
membership," said Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek.

"Yes, Turkey wishes for peace in Island (Cyprus), but a fair one. We
will always side with our brothers," Cicek stated, adding that
Turkey intends to continue providing political, economical and other
assistance to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
