ISTANBUL - Parliament Speaker Koksal Toptan said Sunday statement's like U.S. President Barack Obama's remarks on events of 1915, seriously harmed the process for normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia.
Toptan told reporters that Turkey might have to take some measures in the future. He said despite Turkey's efforts Obama was misinformed about what happened in 1915.
Referring to Turkey's call to open its archives to parties interested in finding the truth regarding these events, Toptan said nobody was interested.
"We are ready to open our archives. Whoever is curious may use our archives. All related countries should open their archives," said Toptan.
Toptan said certain circles were trying to exert pressure on Turkey based on speculations without making through research and warned Armenian officials that this way relations could not be normalised.
Also commenting on relations with Azarbaijan in the face of the normalization process with Armenia, Toptan said there was disinformation about recent developments.
He said the course of Turkey's relations with Azarbaijan would not change in this process, noting that Turkey would never sign any document that would have negative implications for Azarbaijan.
