Turkey Committed to Normalizing Relations with Free Armenia

Bulent Arinc, Turkey's deputy prime minister, has reaffirmed the Turkish government's commitment to normalizing relations with free Armenia, saying in part that, "Armenia has the following significance for us – once Armenians lived in these lands...many of them used to. There were Armenian ministers in the government....there were Armenian architects who built our palaces. All of them were the riches of this country. They left and we have been deprived of [this] wealth." More here.
