Ankara described an announcement by Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan that they would recognize the Kars Agreement as 'opportunism.'
A Turkish Foreign Ministry diplomat said yesterday: 'There are some expressions used in the Armenian Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. They use the expression 'Western Armenia' to describe Turkey's eastern regions and the Agri Mountain is registered as the national emblem. Secondly, they are not working on any concrete steps to withdraw from the Azerbaijani territories they occupy. They blame Turkey for the alleged 'genocide' through the diaspora. If we are talking about compromise, concrete steps should be made in those three areas.' "
