Ankara â€“ APA. â€œAKP has given hope and courage to Armenia, which is continuing genocide allegations, to judge our ancestors. Similar demands made by Obama while visiting our country also show that pressures on the government are increasing. Bilateral, trilateral talks with Armenia called â€œnormalizationâ€ have reached the stage of concessions,â€ leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Devlet Bahceli said at the meeting of his partyâ€™s parliamentary group, APA reports. Bahceli addressed the following questions to AKP government:

- Has Armenia give up calling eastern provinces of Turkey â€œWestern Armeniaâ€ in its Declaration of Independence?

- Has Armenia taken a step back in calling removal during Ottoman times as genocide?

- Have the causes leading to close the borders with Armenia been eliminated?

- Has the process that will end Karabakhâ€™s occupation started?

MHP leader said if these questions have positive answer, there is no problem in establishing relations with Armenia.
â€œMHP is sharing the concern of our Azerbaijani compatriots in the time when there are people in our country who apologize for the so-called genocide,â€ he said.
