Turkey calls Armenia ‘aggressive’ while reportedly sending troops to help Azerbaijan

Turkey has “delicate” relations with Armenia because Armenia is pursuing an aggressive and expansionist path in the region, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Saturday, while choosing to ignore Turkey’s own violent history with Armenians.

“If our relations with Armenia are delicate, it is because Armenia has chosen an aggressive path in the region and fails to adopt a policy capable of becoming a constructive and responsible partner for peace in the region - not even with Azerbaijan,” said Cavusoglu in an interview with Italian newspaper La Stampa.

Cavusoglu did not mention the systematic genocide of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks in 1915 during World War I, which Turkish authorities continue to deny to this day, as contributing to the fragile relationship.....alarabiya.net
