Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called Armenian Diaspora to quit subjective historical advocacy, Turkish Haberturk website reports.

“I recall that Turkey wishes to establish good relations with all its neighbors and in that context I inform all Armenians worldwide that we want to have good relations with all of them. However, if everyone speaks of his pain and history, we cannot make peace and future together. Let’s give up on unilateral historical advocacy. I know of my forefathers’ pain too. We wish to have new horizons and create joint historic sub-commission for the sake of joint future,” Davutoglu stated at a press conference in Paris, where he was on an official visit at the invitation of his French counterpart Bernard Kouchner.

Asked by an Armenian journalist: “You state that are against the blockade of Iran, while Turkey keeps Armenia in blockade for years,” Davutoglu replied: “Turkey opposes any blockade in the region, however Armenia &‘occupied’ Azerbaijani lands and habitants were displaced and then the blockade followed. People cannot come back to their places. We want to have this situation resolved.”
