    Premier says Turkey cannot be part of "initiative" harming Azerbaijan


    Ankara, 30 April: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on
    Thursday [30 April] that it was not possible for the Republic of
    Turkey to be included in an initiative which might harm Azerbaijan and
    Azerbaijani government.

    In a televised address to the nation, Erdogan said that efforts for
    the normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia aimed to
    settle peace, confidence and stability in the region.

    In regard to US President Barack Obama's visit to Turkey, Erdogan said
    that Turkey once again attracted great attention of the world due to
    the visit.

    US President Obama made a good impression on Turkish nation and the
    world due to his messages in favour of peace and compromise during his
    visit to Turkey, he said.

    Erdogan said that remarks (of Obama) regarding the 1915 incidents were
    unacceptable and historians should deal with this matter.

    Erdogan said regarding the Cyprus issue that he believed that Turkish
    Cypriot party's efforts for restoring peace in the island would also
    carry on in the following period and negotiations launched by
    President Mehmet Ali Talat of the [self-declared] Turkish Republic of
    Northern Cyprus (TRNC) would be concluded successfully.

    Premier Erdogan recalled that he also paid a visit to the British
    capital of London for a G20 summit.

    A sound international cooperation was of great importance to fight
    against global economic crisis and G20 countries gathered to make a
    plan to weather economic crisis, he said.

    Turkey made great contributions to the G20 summit with its views and
    proposals, he said.

    In regard to the Turkish economy, Erdogan said Turkey was one of the
    countries which were least affected by the global economic crisis.

    Turkish government urgently took several important steps to minimize
    negative impacts of global economic crisis on Turkish people and
    Turkish economy was firmly standing on its feet, he added.
