At a convention of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) which he leads, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reflected on Turkey’s blockade against Armenia.

He argued that, under the pressure of the Armenian diaspora, Yerevan stubbornly keeps the doors of friendship with Turkey closed, and as a result, it has been left out of the energy, commercial and transport projects in the region, reported Haberler (News) news portal of Turkey.

“And it [Armenia] will continue to be left out,” added the Turkish president.
