ANKARA - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu left on Monday for a tour of Pakistan and Afghanistan on his first trip to the two countries since he assumed office.

Responding to a question at a press conference before his departure, Davutoglu "Turkey is committed to build its relations with Armenia on healthy grounds as it did with its other neighbours."

"This is a common future for all of us -- for Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Russia as well as other players of the region. We all have to show good faith and avoid moves that could turn the positive into negative," Davutoglu said.
