ISTANBUL - The Turkish prime minister saw on Saturday U.S. president's remarks as a balanced text.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he was seeing U.S. President Barack Obama's remarks regarding the incidents of 1915 as balanced.
"I see the text was a balanced one, but it was not one satisfying us," he told reporters in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
Erdogan said dealing with the past was the duty of historians, not politicians, and researches should be made and then they should be put forth the politicians.
"Every one should refrain from remarks that may overshadow the ongoing normalization process," he said.
Erdogan said that none of politicians should make remarks that could overshadow peace between countries, for just to keep his/her promises or for just to invest in his/her future.
On Azerbaijan's step to raise the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey, Erdogan said that such steps could not be taken unilaterally.
"Such a rise in natural gas prices in days when oil prices in the world are on the decline is thought-provoking," he said.
Erdogan said Turkey would take steps after assessing the developments.
The Turkish prime minister also said that he was thinking of visiting Azerbaijan, but he had not set a definite date.
