Talks on creation of Turk States’ Parliamentary Assembly worries Armenia seriously. Armenian media writes that Turk nations will create Turan State (Great Turkish State) and claims [...] will be against Armenians,” Turkish-Azerbaijani Parliamentary Friendship Group chairman, Nizami Jafarov, told APA.

He said that creation of Turk States’ Parliamentary Assembly does not mean creation of Turan State.

“Establishment of such an assembly is important for harmony in the world and is not in contradiction with international juridical norms. On the other hand, Armenians are very trifle in Turks’ imagination. Turks are 100 million in the world while Armenians are up to 10 million only. However, after creation of Turk States’ Parliamentary Assembly, Armenian issue will be discussed there,” Mr. Jafarov said.

True, if importance could be measured in numbers ....

Jafarov also said that Turkey and Azerbaijan discussed creation of this organization and talks will be held with other Turk states in near future as well.
