YEREVAN (News.am), April 15–Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turkey is ready to give ear to its Armenian friends on Turkish history and wishes to see Armenia a rich country.

“Turkey and Armenia are two neighboring countries and lived side by side for ages. If there are unresolved issues we will settle them internally,” Davutoglu said in a public statement.

The Foreign Minister also noted that Turkey wishes to exercise “zero problems with neighbors” policy in relations with Armenia, adding that Ankara wants Armenia not to be poor, but a rich neighbor. “We want our neighbors to live in peace and prosperity. That is the purpose of the Turkish-Armenian Protocols,” Davutoglu said.
