    Artak Zakaryan: Turkey's efforts cannot help resolve Karabakh conflict

    If Armenia were a country committed to the policy of 'revenge,' it
    would not initiate the process of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation,
    Artak Zakaryan, Head of the Armenian Parliament Committee for Foreign
    Affairs, told ArmInfo when commenting on Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
    Davutoglu's latest statement claiming that Yerevan is allegedly
    committed to the policy of revenge in the relations with Ankara.

    "It is Turkey that takes no specific actions to normalize the
    relations with Armenia and torpedoes the process," Zakaryan said.

    He recalled that the foreign policy course of Ankara and Davutoglu
    calls for "Zero problems with neighbors," while the problems with the
    neighbors have not been settled. Quite the contrary, now Turkey has
    even more problems with its neighbors.

    "Turkey, particularly, Davutoglu, should think over it and seek the
    cause in Ankara's policy," he said. As for Davutoglu's statement
    suggesting that Ankara will do everything to resolve the Karabakh
    conflict, Zakaryan said: "Turkey's efforts will not help resolve the
    Karabakh conflict."

    Newly appointed Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said
    introducing the policy of the new government that Ankara's foreign
    policy priority in the Caucasus is settlement of the regional
    conflict, establishment of peace and reduction of tensions.

    To this end, he said, Ankara will do everything to end "occupation of
    Azerbaijani lands and Nagorno Karabakh," as well as reduce tensions
    between Armenia and Azerbaijan and establish peace in the region.
    Davutoglu said that Ankara will continue "the steps towards
    normalization of relations with Armenia."

    He said Turkey does not anticipate historical revenge from Armenia,
    but search for the ways of cooperation and revealing justice in
    response to Ankara's "progressive offers".
