ISTANBUL. – Topics relating to the Armenian Genocide issue and the
normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey were also on
the agenda of the Clinton-Davutoglu and Clinton-Erdogan meetings that
were held in Istanbul on April 1, and along the lines of the Friends
of Syria conference.
Turkey’s PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan and FM Ahmet Davutoglu, who separately
met with US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, deemed it necessary
to put an end to the yearly introduction of Armenian resolutions in
the US, and prior to April 24, Hurriyet daily of Turkey informs.
In her turn, Secretary Clinton noted that she is aware of how sensitive
Turkey is on this matter, and claimed that such initiative is not
expected this year.
Erdogan and Davutoglu asserted that Turkey, just as always, is ready
to normalize relations with Armenia, but the latter’s authorities
need to free themselves from domestic political concerns and they
must not bring the Armenian Genocide issue on the agenda.
