Erdogan says Armenia ‘must get rid of the harmful influence of third countries and its diaspora’

Armenia must get rid of the harmful influence of third countries and its diaspora, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in his address to the participants of the Efes-2024 drill on Thursday.

“This will bring [Armenia] closer and closer to peace. The Armenian people must realize that their future is tied to the countries of the region, neighbors with whom they have co-existed for centuries. This will continue in the future. Armenia must also have the courage to do what is necessary,” he said.
