"Observers from OSCE member states will also observe the parliamentary elections in Armenia. But Armenia refused to grant visa to Turkish delegation to visit Yerevan," Aladdin Boyukkaya, Turkish parliamentarian from AKP, OSCE PA member told.

He stressed that the state built on hostile ideology can not live, APA reports.

"Yerevan's refusal to issue visa to the Turkish delegation is the obvious expression of hostility against Turks in international scale. As Armenians do not want any truth to be revealed. They aim to develop their hostile strategies against Turks. The state built on hostile ideology can not live. We condemn this act and believe OSCE will issue warning regarding this issue. As OSCE group of the parliament, we will take necessary actions. Because we will visit Yerevan on behalf of an international organization," he said.

Boyukgaya also reminded rudeness against NATO Parliamentary Assembly's vice-president Vahit Ardam.

"Ardam went to Yerevan through NATO. Though he received visas, he faced disrespect in Armenia. They can not bear our visiting Armenia," he said.

Commenting on the claims on so-called Armenian genocide, AKP parliamentarian said Armenians' policy to force Turkey to accept these claims will fail.

"As Armenian state policy focuses on hostility against Turkish, they try to achieve their ambitions in haste. They know well that their fantasy of genocide is not true. On the contrary, it is Armenians who committed genocide against Turks. Armenia's continuing to occupy Azerbaijani territories led to one million people becoming displaced. Isn’t it genocide? A state can not be built on hostility. Because hostility can bring hostility and Armenians can face serious consequences. I am sure the rulers of Armenia would not be able to overcome this policy," the parliamentarian underlined.
