    Arminfo. Foreign Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu made a speech in
    the Turkish parliament yesterday sharing his views on normalization
    of the Armenian-Turkish relations.

    As Turkish mass media reported, touching on the regional problems
    Davutoglu said Turkey does not want the status quo to go on. Turkey
    aims not to allow discussion or judgment of Turkey-Armenia relations
    in third countries, Davutoglu said. "Medvedev will come to Turkey in
    the coming month and the top issue on the agenda will be Azerbaijan's
    occupied territory. We assume it as our own issue and continue to keep
    it on the agenda on all grounds," he said. "Nothing can deal a blow on
    friendship between Turkey and Azerbaijan," Davutoglu said. "Everybody
    must know it very well." Davutoglu gave information to lawmakers also
    about government's goals for the future. "Turkey-Armenia relations
    will become normalized," he said. "Parallel to this, occupation of
    Azeri lands will end and the dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia
    will be resolved. The border between Azerbaijan and Armenia and also
    the border between Turkey and Armenia will open. It means a corridor
    from Erzurum [a province in the east of Turkey] will open through
    the Central Asia," he said. Davutoglu said Turkey would not allow
    this issue to cast shadow on Turkey's relations with other countries
    anymore, especially on relations with the United States. He said Turks
    and Armenians will learn to share pain and common history, adding,
    "they will live together." "This is our perspective on peace,"
    Davutoglu said.
