Turkey urges Armenia to sincerity and concrete steps in region
“Armenia must show that it wants peace in the region by taking concrete steps,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on the air of the TRT Haber channel.
“Talking is not enough. Armenia must take concrete steps, including on the issue of the Zangazur project and a comprehensive peace treaty. We are sincere, Azerbaijan is sincere, now we want to see how sincere Armenia is," the head of Turkish diplomacy said.
Çavuşoğlu further recalled the meetings of the special representatives of Armenia and Turkey as part of the process of normalizing relations between the two countries, as well as the recent telephone conversation between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Speaking about the coordination of the Armenian-Turkish process with Azerbaijan, the minister pointed out that Armenia and the rest should not forget that this process is tripartite. "It should be coordinated with Baku since Turkey and Azerbaijan are "one people, two states." If there should be peace in the region, then everyone in the trilateral format should take steps in this direction," Çavuşoğlu concluded.
