HistoryofTruth.com - Armenian Allegations

After having a meeting with leader of Felicity Party Numan Kurtulmus, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu met with CHP leader Deniz Baykal within the framework of the six-week internal political discussions on the protocols initialed with Armenia.

APA reports quoting "Hurriyet" newspaper that Deniz Baykal noted that they had conducted discussions on situation in the Caucasus, energy issues and Cyprus problem.

Baykal stated that there were 4 fundamental problems in the Caucasus. To him, 1st - the problem is a legal uncertainty that is to say the legal framework of relations between the countries is not clear: "Main legal document concretizing Turkey-Armenia relations is a Kars contract. This contract determines borders and guarantees Turkey's sovereignty and confirms Turkey's guarantee right over Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. However, Armenia rejects and does not recognize all above mentioned."

Baykal says the 2nd problem is the occupation in the Caucasus: Armenia has occupied one-fifth of Azerbaijan's territories. This is the fundamental reason of instability in the Caucasus. This problem must find its solution to achieve a peace in the Caucasus.

The CHP leader says that the 3rd problem is Armenia's hostile policy against Turkey with genocide claims.

Baykal says the 4th problem is the opening of borders. According to him there is concreteness in the protocols regarding the opening of borders. But we cannot talk about the same concreteness in other 3 problems.
