Ibrahim Kalin is the spokesperson for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The current Armenia-Turkey normalization process will destroy the Armenian community of the United States, said Ibrahim Kalin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s press secretary.
Kalin made the remarks during a meeting with Turkish-Americans in Chicago, the Anadolou news agency reported on Monday.
Kalin said that the Armenian lobby in the U.S. has made anti-Turkish sentiments part of its identity.
“A completely different process is being carried out in the Caucasus now, and the basis on which that diaspora has formulated all its arguments is on the verge of collapse,” said Kalin.
“A completely different process is being carried out in the Caucasus now, the basis on which that Diaspora has built all its arguments is on the verge of collapse. In other words, the conflict between Armenia and Turkey or the Armenian-Turkish conflict in the Caucasus is coming to an end. “With the liberation of Karabakh and the reintegration of that region into Azerbaijan, a new page in history has been opened,” Kalin said.

The Turkish presidential spokesman said no one else has any other expectations to this end, and Ankara and Yerevan are taking reciprocal steps to normalize relations.
At the same time, Kalin said that Armenia stands to benefit the most from this process
“The normalization of relations with Turkey will contribute greatly to Armenia, a landlocked country, which is economically weak and is a ward of Russia, both politically and economically,” Kalin said.
