Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu stated that his country will not bow before the Armenian and other lobby groups.

Speaking at the Istanbul convention of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Davutoglu, who is also chairman of the AKP, harshly criticized Fethullah Gulen—a Turkish Islamic opinion leader who currently lives in a self-imposed exile in the United States—accusing him of supporting Armenian, Greek and Jewish lobbies, Kanal A website of Turkey reported.

“I hereby announce that we will not bow before neither the Jewish nor the Armenian nor the Greek lobbies.

“I call upon the ‘parallel structure’ [i.e., the Gulen movement, which is a transnational religious and social movement led by Fethullah Gulen], which sends messages to these lobbyists. Wherever you may be, we stand firm. You will cringe away for betraying this [Turkish] nation, homeland,” Ahmet Davutoglu said.
