COPENHAGEN - ''We reiterated our calls to Armenia for compromise,'' NATO 
Parliamentary Assembly Vice-President Vahit Erdem said on Wednesday.
NATO Parliamentary Assembly meetings in Copenhagen, Denmark, ended.
''Turkey expressed its wish and will to improve bilateral relations with 
Armenia. However, Armenia should abide by international rules, change some 
articles in its constitution, give up showing Eastern Anatolia Region as 
Armenian territory, and recognize the Kars Treaty,'' Erdem said following 
the meetings.
Calling on the other member countries to put pressure on Armenia which has 
occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories and forced nearly 1 million 
people to leave their homes and become refugees, Erdem indicated that it was 
Armenia which benefit most from a normalization of Turkish-Armenian 
relations.
Yesterday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan also referred to the 
issue in his address to NATO Parliamentary Assembly. He said, ''we have 
opened our air space to Armenian aircraft. Also, we have initiated cargo 
transportation from Yerevan to Istanbul. Our government has ordered 
restoration of an Armenian church in eastern city of Van. On the other hand, 
we have opened our archives to enlighten historical facts. We expect Armenia 
to do the same. Genocide has never been a part of our history. It is a 
serious mistake to accuse a government, which had to relocate some of its 
people due to uprisings, of genocide.''

Webmaster: Incredible, remember, not Genocide but relocation...to the other world.
Maybe Hitler was trying to relocate the Jews too.
