Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu completed meetings with leaders of political parties as part of six-week internal political discussions concerning the protocols initialed with Armenia, Turkish news agencies reported.
Ahmet Davutoglu last met with former speaker of Turkish parliament Husamettin Cindoruk.

Cindoruk told journalists after the meeting that actually Turkey-Armenia relations were trilateral, not bilateral as Azerbaijan’s participation was necessary in the process.

“Azerbaijan is our brother, friend, ally. We share similar roots. We should have delicate approach to relations with Azerbaijan. But at present this delicacy is not demonstrated fully. It is impossible to forget the torments of Azerbaijani people. There are 1 million refugees. I have witnessed how they live and graves of the war victims. We cannot forget Azerbaijan's war victims,” he said.

Cindoruk said Azerbaijan should not be blamed for the conflict with Armenia.

“It was Armenia who attacked. We do not want the enmity to last for centuries. But agreements with Armenia may harm friendship between Azerbaijan and Turkey especially built by Demirel and Heydar Aliyev,” he said.

Husamettin Cindoruk said Turkish government should not hurry with establishing relations with Armenia and should take all the opinions into account.

“Because the reopening of the borders will favor Armenia,” he said.
