Turkey's critical meeting with the Armenian foreign minister

Nalbandian is in Turkey for this purpose and he will also deliver a speech.

But the most important part of his visit will be the unscheduled meeting with the Turkey’s foreign minister, Ali Babacan... Armenia still occupies land in Nagorno-Karabakh.

But he also takes the rotating chair of an Istanbul based institution... However, although this seems to be a conflicting situation, it can open the door for a solution. Armenia can take steps regarding Karabakh. Turkey can open its border... This is something I want. Do you want to know why?

Because we are tired of this fear... We don't recognize the Greek Cypriots in Cyprus. But they have joined the European Union. We compete against them at the Olympic Games... We pass over Massoud Barzani, the leader of the Kurdish regional administration in northern Iraq, and we refuse to meet. But, we are conducting a number of construction projects, including an airport, in northern Iraq and send delegations to Baghdad.

We don't recognize Armenia but let them to head the rotating chair of an Istanbul-based organization.

That is enough...

Major countries do not close their borders or their horizons.

On the contrary, they become the magnet that attracts from beyond its borders.
