Turkey rebuffs Armenian chief prosecutor’s remarks on Turkey-Armenia border
Turkish Foreign Ministry said “It must be known that nobody can dare
to claim territory from Turkey” ANKARA (AA) – Turkish Foreign Ministry
Spokesman Levent Gumrukcu said on Friday that Turkey regretted
Armenian Chief prosecutor’s remarks on Turkish-Armenian border.
Armenian Chief Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan stated during the
Pan-Armenian Lawyers Congress on July 5 and 6 that the
Turkish-Armenian border wasn’t determined legally and the lost
Armenian territories, as he claimed, must be returned to Armenia.
Gumrukcu stressed that the remarks of an official post like the Chief
Prosecutor’s reflected the problematic mentality prevailing in Armenia
on Turkish-Armenian relations and its neighbour Turkey’s territorial
integrity. He argued that the statement also contradicted the
obligations of Armenia to the international organizations it is
affiliated such as the United Nations (UN) and Organization for
Security and Coordination in Europe (OSCE). “It must be known that
nobody can dare to claim territory from Turkey,” he urged.
