ArmInfo.Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu touched upon the elections in Armenia at a press conference on the occasion of the completion of the Diplomatic Forum in Antalya.
Thus, the Turkish diplomat expressed hope that the new government of Armenia formed following the elections "will learn a lesson from the mistakes made by this country in the past."
In his words, Armenia must take steps to ensure stability in the region.
"We hope that Armenia will understand that the only way to ensure stability and peace in the region is to develop good-neighborly relations with regional countries. Armenia should stop making territorial claims to its neighbors and start establishing good relations with them. After the war, as a result of which Azerbaijan , both Baku and Ankara are decisively ready to take steps to ensure peace and stability in the region, "the minister said, apparently forgetting that territorial claims are put forward by Turkey and Azerbaijan, and Armenians are only fighting for the right to live on their own land.
Cavusoglu noted that the establishment of bilateral relations will create an opportunity for the implementation of many regional projects.
"This is primarily for the good of Armenia itself, which for many years has been conducting a wrong policy and thus isolated itself. It lagged behind in development from the countries of the South Caucasus, but only through its own fault. Yerevan should abandon its hostile attitude and think about what can be done to establish good-neighborly relations with the countries of the region, "Cavusoglu said cynically, Anadolu reports.
