Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has stated that the
humanitarian aid sent by Armenia to Turkey cannot have any positive
impact on the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations. Republican
MP Hovhannes Sahakyan asked Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian to
deliver remarks in this respect.

“Armenia helped Turkey, and I don’t think similar statements can have
a positive impact on Armenian-Turkish mending ties,” said the FM.

Thus, Edward Nalbandian has stated, Turkey keeps faithful to its
destructive approach after Zurich meeting.

Republican MP Gagik Minasyan has added that Turkey hasn’t changed its
policy, while U.S. senior officials still believe and call on Turkey
to be more constructive.

“Diplomacy needs optimism. If you’re not an optimist, you’re not a
diplomat,” commented E. Nalbandian adding irrespective of destructive
approach of Turkey, Armenia is committed to normalize ties with Turkey.
