“Armenia refused Turkey’s hand of friendship”
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said today that Ankara is not going to dispatch peacekeepers to Nagorno Karabakh after the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, Turkish Anadolu news agency reported.
"Reports on the issue are untrue," Davutoglu said.
He also stated that a plan must be worked out to ensure stability and security in South Caucasus.
"Armenia is only harming itself by refusing to accept Turkish assistance. Stability in the Caucasus is in the interest of all the countries in the region," he said accusing Armenia of "reluctance to join the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform."
"Unless Armenia shakes Turkey's hand of friendship, it will suffer most," Davutoglu stressed.
The signing of Armenian-Turkish Protocols was the first step in improving bilateral relations. The continuation of the process depends on Armenia's constructive will to solve the problems, he added.
