Eldeniz Guliyev: "Turkey loses much more from strengthening relations with Armenia"

29 December 2008 [11:37] - TODAY.AZ
"The strengthening of relations between Turkey and Armenia is of negative nature", said chairman of the Azerbaijan Intellectuals Movement Eldeniz Guliyev.
He said strengthening of relations between the countries should be considered from various positions.

"First of all, Turkey must not forget the historical facts and the evil Armenia brought to it. Second, it must bear in mind that 20% of Azerbaijani lands are occupied.

Naturally, each country pursues its goal while strengthening the relations. In particular, the opening of borders is profitable for Armenia, while Turkey tends to join EU. However, both countries should not forget that the things they achieve will be insignificant against what they lose. Turkey loses much more by strengthening relations with Armenia", noted he.

Guliyev also added that the campaign held by representatives of Turkish intellectuals by apologizing to Armenians for 1915 events in the Osman Empire and the reverse campaign were planned incompetently and incorrectly.
