The genocide was the result of conditions that arose during and before the First World War.

It has nothing to do with today's Republic of Armenia.

Look, we've been independent for only about thirty years. Not a single Turkish soldier has entered Armenia.

Armenia. Azerbaijan.

No. They did not enter Armenia.

They did not enter Armenia.

Well.

They did not enter Armenia.

Is that true or not?

They did not enter Armenia.

We have no guarantees or assurances that they will not attack us.

But for about thirty years we've been saying it should be this way.

Back in 1991 people said that if we became independent, the next day everyone would respect us.

It's been about thirty years.

And the Turks' intentions have always been clear.

We are not on good terms with them.

Settle your problem with Azerbaijan, and we'll resolve ours.

They do have a deal with us.

They don't. There is no evidence that they do.

No one told me at all that they have an issue with our republic.

Just say it once, just say it once.
