    TURKISH PARLIAMENT SPEAKER: ARMENIA HOSTAGE OF ITS OWN LOBBY

    Trend, Azerbaijan
    June 2 2014

    Baku, Azerbaijan, June 2

    By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

    Armenia is a hostage of its own lobby, Turkish Hurriyet newspaper
    quoted the country's parliament speaker Cemil Cicek as saying on
    June 2.

    He underscored that Turkey has several times attempted to restore
    its relations with Armenia, but to no avail.

    "Previously, Turkey's president and foreign minister visited Armenia
    in order to restore relations between Yerevan and Ankara. But this
    visit didn't give any results, as the opposite side didn't take any
    reciprocal steps," the speaker said.

    Cicek pointed out that the "Armenian genocide" is one of the barriers
    in the restoration of Armenian-Turkish relations.

    He went on to add that it will be difficult to ensure stability in
    the South Caucasus region unless the relations between Armenia and
    Azerbaijan are normalized.

    Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor the
    Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians
    living in Anatolia in 1915. Armenians, increasing their propaganda
    of the so-called genocide in the world, have achieved its recognition
    by parliaments of some countries.
