Muhsin Yazichioglu: "Forces against Turkish nationalists state Azerbaijan might be behind Hrant Dink’s assassination"

He underlined that the forces against Turkish nationalists take advantage of Hrant Dink's assassination.

"We can not allow using this crime as insult, slander and pressure against Turkish nationalists. Besides, this campaign is not restricted to us. These forces state that “Azerbaijan might stand behind this assassination.

"Armenians try to disguise their crimes. Nobody speaks of the genocide committed in Khojaly 15 years ago. Armenians have not withdrawn their forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories. The world community is indifferent towards these events – nobody hears about one million people, who have become displaced as a result of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," he told the APA Turkey bureau.

Muhsin Yazichioglu said that Armenia does not observe international legal norms. "Armenians do not show any sign of withdrawal from these territories. If Turkey and Azerbaijan show their will, Armenians will withdraw. Armenia can not survive without opening borders with Turkey and establishing neighborhood relations with Azerbaijan. Turkey should not open borders with Armenia and should not have any relations with Yerevan," he said.
