Former Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Hickmet Chetin, speaking on the panel on the topic: “South Caucasus: Regional Development and Prospects for Cooperation” As part of the VIII World Global Forum “Peace after COVID-19”, said that the Armenian diaspora has a serious pressure on Armenia .
“Armenia is a neighbor of Turkey. We tried to solve the conflict peaceful way. It would be beneficial for Armenia, because through Turkey she would have access to the countries of the world. Turkey offered it to Armenia. Armenians should not take steps, leaning on the diaspora . They must understand that they live in this region and should not act at the direction of the diaspora. You need to look into the future, “said Chetin.
He also touched the topic of the OSCE Minsk Group (mg).
“We were hoped at the OSCE Minsk Group, but she was inactive, prolonged negotiations were unsuccessful. After 30 years, there was no other way left, except to apply power within 44 days. Today, Armenia should not think about revenge, but to give preference Cooperation in the region, “said the ex-head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
According to him, Azerbaijan has achieved development in many areas, but in Armenia the situation does not please.
“In Armenia, youth leaves from the country because it does not see in it their future. In the region there should be a world that is impossible without Azerbaijan. Today is not the time for conflict, we need peace, stability and cooperation,” noted the ex- Minister
