Turkey unhappy with Armenian Prosecutor General’s statement

15:09 13.07.2013

Official Ankara has responded to the statement of Armenian Prosecutor
General Aghvan Hovsepyan, who said at a pan-Armenian Conference of
Lawyers in Yerevan that `heirs of the Armenian Genocide victims should
receive material reimbursement.’ `The churches miraculously saved in
Turkey and the lands belonging to church shall be returned to the
Armenian Church, the Republic of Armenia shall get back its lost
territories, the Armenian churches must be returned to Armenians, and
the Republic of Armenia,’ the Prosecutor General stated.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has issued an official statement saying
that `no one has the right to demand lands from Turkey.’

`The Armenian Prosecutor General’s statement reflects the position of
the Armenian authorities on Turkey’s territorial integrity and the
Armenian-Turkish relations. However, this position contradicts
Armenia’s commitments before international organizations such as the
UN and the OSCE. Everyone should understand that no one can demand
lands from Armenia,’ reads the statement of the Turkish Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
