â€œI came here to deliver a message for the Turkic communities to uniteâ€, Mr. Ã‡iÃ§ek said answering APAâ€™s Washington correspondent during the Turkish Festival day in US.

Speaking about the Armeniansâ€™ campaigns against Turks across the world, Mr. Ã‡iÃ§ek pointed out that, â€œour heads up and minds are open, soon or later the history will solve everythingâ€.

The Turkish minister, who is conducting dialogs during the recent days in New York and Washington DC, also mentioned that, Turkey is always with Azerbaijan supporting their joint struggle.

On May 24th, attending to the Turkish Festival in New York organized by Federation of Turkish American Associations, Minister Ã‡iÃ§ek reminded that baseless allegations which blame Turkey are turned into a U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee decision because of the influence of certain lobbies in United States that disappointed Ankara a lot.

â€œThis issue should be handled by historians instead of politicians and parliaments" â€“ he added. Minister also added that, â€œwe donâ€™t have any guilt behind the history. Turkish nation is clean.
