Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Friday Turkey needed "silent
diplomacy" in its relations with Armenia for some time.
Answering a question on Turkish-Armenian relations at a reception in
the Turkish Parliament to mark the April 23 National Sovereignty and
Children’s Day, President Gul said that Turkey’s policy vis-a-vis
Armenia was very clear.
Turkey has a careful strategy in its foreign policy and has only one
foreign policy on the Caucasus. Turkey wishes to facilitate stability
in the Caucasus.
The status quo in the Caucasus benefits no one. We have to change the
status quo and establish peace and cooperation in the region. There
may be a need for silent diplomacy in the region and this is what has
taken place for a long time, Gul said.
