Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu appealed to Armenian Diaspora in the interview with CNNturk TV channel.

We wish to mend fences with Armenia and Armenian Diaspora. From this viewpoint, it is incorrect to consider all Armenians by the same rule. Arriving in Turkey after Hrant Dink’s death, renowned Armenians were surprised to see Turkish people’s support to Dink. I personally saw that. We should change the mentality of people," Davutoglu said.

According to him, ties with U.S. Armenians are a new step towards the normalization of relations with Armenia. “If U.S. administration follows the lead of Swedish Government and makes a compelling statement to Turkey, Turkish Ambassador to U.S. Namik Tan will return to Washington and relations with Armenians will intensify,” Davutoglu emphasized.
