Erdogan blames Armenia for bad relations
Bakutoday.net reports that Turkish prime minister Erdogan blames Yerevan for the worsening relations between Ankara and Yerevan.
“The Armenian Diaspora is still sticking to its so-called genocide claims. Turkey and Turks will never accept this. It is impossible to forge relationship under these conditions,” Erdogan said in a meeting that was also attended by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
UPDATE: TurkishPress.com is reporting that Armenia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan will hold a trilateral meeting in September in New York. The reason for this meeting seems to be the process of integrating the South Caucasus into Europe. Georgia will apparently be invited.
